Transitions in Parental Repartnering After Divorce

Abstract

Following divorce, the majority of parents will become involved with new partners. While many look forward to the opportunity to establish satisfying romantic relationships, the process of dating and courtship presents challenges to child and family adjustment. There is limited literature on how this process unfolds, and thus, a need for systematic research on divorce and remarriage. This should include considerations of postdivorce repartnering. Toward directing future research, we provide empirical support for nine potential relationship transitions that come into play as adults manage the process of forming new romantic relationships and incorporating them into existing relationships with their children.
