Parenting after Partnering - Containing Conflict after Separation (Paperback)

Relationships between adult partners following divorce or separation can be fragile, and the issues which have divided the parents are often hard to disentangle from the ongoing relationships between parents and children. Many have ongoing difficulty and need professional help and legal intervention to make arrangements for ongoing parenting. Parenting after Partnering brings together a wealth of new empirical research from the US, Europe, and Australia on the nature and importance of children's relationships with parents after parental separation, on the kinds of conflicts which develop, and on the range of professional interventions which support parents and children through these difficult times.
