Aan de hand van data van de survey 'Scheiding in Vlaanderen' onderzoeken we in dit artikel het verband tussen een echtscheiding van volwassen kinderen en de frequentie van ontmoetingen met hun ouders. Daarbij houden we zowel rekening met door de volwassen kinderen als door de ouders gerapporteerde contactfrequenties. De resultaten tonen aan dat gescheiden personen meer contact hebben met beide ouders dan gehuwden. Meer specifiek geldt dat de frequentie van ontmoetingen het hoogst is wanneer men na de echtscheiding niet samenwoont met een nieuwe partner. De verschillen naargelang de huwelijks‐ en partnerstatus zijn beduidend groter voor zoons dan voor dochters.
Abstract :
Using data from the survey ‘Divorce in Flanders’, we study the relationship between the divorce of adult children and the frequency of face‐to‐face contacts with their parents. Doing so, we take into account contact frequencies reported by the adult children as well as frequencies reported by their parents. The results indicate that, when compared to married persons, divorced people have more face‐to‐face contact with both of their parents. More specifically, the frequency of encounters is the highest when one is not living with a new partner after the divorce. The differences according to the marital and partner status are significantly larger for sons than for daughters.
