aptation process last longer (Ganc, 2015). It is important that parents are able
to encourage regular and quality personal contacts between the child and the
other parent, despite their feelings for (ex partner and) other parent. The child
needs a safe environment to express feelings and a place where the feelings
are accepted. This means that the children can tell the parent that they miss
the other parent and that they loves both of them. This is important because
the children often experience an emotional confusion about what they can tell
their parents. The most common feeling after divorce that they see between the
parents is anger.
Residential change
The most obvious change after divorce is relocation of the family. One parent
moves or parent with the child moves. The absence of one parent is the first
change that the child notices and all children, regardless of age or understand-
ing, feel it. Even a new-born baby senses changes the environment and notic-
es the smell of important persons or their absence. By moving, the primary so-
cial environment of the child is changed. With the divorce, the child gets “two
homes”. It is important for the children that they are accepted with all intense
emotions and love toward both parents in both homes.
‘It would appear that residential change by itself does not contribute to
divorce associated stress. It is when the divorce is accompanied by a perceived
decline in the quality of housing that residential change contributes to divorce
associated stress (Booth, 1993, p. 212)’. Having a place of their own in both
homes if of great importance for the children’s wellbeing. This does not neces-
sarily mean an own room, but some private place where the children can keep
their things. The feeling of homeliness can be created with transporting special
things; however, this notion has to be supported by both parents. It is also very
important for parents to keep the parental unity in both homes.
Change of socioeconomic status
‘General findings show that lower income in the family household after di-
vorce reduces the well-being of kids.’ (Amato, 2010 and Andrejč, 2014, p. 32).
The parent that has custody of the child gets alimony from the non-residen-
tial parent. The height of alimony depends on the child’s need and parents’ in-
come. With the change of family economic status, children often change or
stop their after school activities. This partly due to the organization of family
life and activities, while one parent is responsible for all the things. This could
be different, if non-custodial parent wants and is able to stay involved. In re-
ality, they are often not able to do that, changing the children’s free time. Ac-
tive parents are often replaced by significant others, such as grandparents or
other relatives. In spite of this, it would be important for non-residential par-
ent to do their tasks.
