Abstract

To assess the major determinants of divorce settlement ncgotiations bctween divorcing spouses and their lawyers, 90 recent divorcees selected from the court records of Middlesex County, New Jersey, completed a 14-page Divorce Settlement Experience Questionnaire (DSEQ). Factor analysis of relevant DSEQ items yielded two outcome factors: A Post-Divorce Cooperation Factor and a Post-Divorce Satisfaction Factor. Multiple regression and correlational analyses revealed that six hypotheses obtained significant independent effects. Generally speaking, favorable settlement outcomes were associated with: a cooperative negotiating climate, client control of the settlement process, resource availability, and psychological adjustment.
