“…Divorce significantly reshapes social networks, often leading to some degree of atrophy, lower density, and shorter duration of social ties (Sprecher et al, 2006). Studies also show that men have a higher reliance on friends and extended kin networks for socioemotional support than women (Duran‐Aydintug, 1998; Eggebeen, Snyder, & Manning, 1996; Milardo, 1987). That is not to say that women do not rely on friends and kin; rather, on average, women depend less on informal support than men.…”

A stress-buffering hypothesis for parenting was tested in a county-representative sample of 218 divorced fathers. Social support for parenting (emergency and nonemergency child care, practical support, financial support) was hypothesized to moderate effects of stress (role overload, coparental conflict, and daily hassles) on fathers' quality parenting. No custody fathers relied more on relatives compared with custodial fathers, who relied more on new partners for parenting support. No differences by custody status were found on levels of support or parenting over time. Parenting support buffered effects of change in role overload and coparenting conflict on coercive parenting and buffered effects of change in daily hassles on prosocial parenting. Buffer effects were more predictive over time. Implications for practice and preventive intervention strategies are discussed.

“…Social isolation can be accomplished by specific partner tactics to cut off a woman's social network and help seeking and sometimes occurs because a woman is embarrassed or the family and friends react negatively to the situation (Rose et al, 2000). Social support has been found, in some research, to be important in coping with stress (Cohen, Gottlieb, & Underwood, 2000;Turner, 1999), has been associated with better perceived mental health among intimate-partner violence victims (Coker et al, 2002;Kaslow et al, 1998), and has been associated with separation adjustment (Duran-Aydintug, 1998;Miller et al, 1998;Tan, Basta, Sullivan, & Davidson, 1995). Social isolation can also result in limited opportunity for contact with service agencies.…”

Given the number of divorces that occur each year as well as the high rates of intimate partner violence, it is critical that divorce/separation and victimization be considered in research and in clinical practice with women. However, the separation/divorce research and victimization research has often been conducted independently, with limited attention to integration. The integration of these two domains is critically important in facilitating the understanding of these issues for women. This article has 5 main purposes: (a) to review the research on the general consequences of separation; (b) to review the research on the consequences of separation when children are involved; (c) to review the research on the consequences of victimization; (d) to integrate the separation and victimization research to examine separation in the context of victimization; and (e) to discuss the implications of separation in the context of victimization for practice and research.

“…A study by Thuen and Eikeland (1998) showed that persons who initiated the divorce perceived themselves to be more integrated in personal networks and engaged in more social activities than persons whose ex-partner initiated the divorce. Noninitiators relied on a relatively large number of relationships for emotional support (Duran-Aydintug, 1998;Thuen & Eikeland, 1998). We hypothesize that positive aspects of the divorce, as indicated by being the initiator, having a positive attitude toward the divorce, or experiencing fewer conflicts regarding legal arrangements, increase the chances that the temporary or long-lasting network extension type will occur.…”

This study first identified types of change in the size of the personal network over a period of 12 years following divorce. Second, differences in network change were explained by taking into account divorce characteristics, personal capacities, and structural conditions. Personal interviews were conducted in three waves of a 12-year longitudinal study with 40 men and 64 women who divorced in 1987 or 1988. Most divorcees experienced network losses shortly after the divorce and in half of the cases these losses were not compensated for in the later years after divorce. For some, divorce brought merely network gains, albeit in the longer term. Personal capacities and structural conditions did not differ significantly across participants in different types of network change. Characteristics of the divorce (attitude toward divorce and conflicts with the ex-partner after divorce) partly explained differences in network change after divorce.
