| Summary |
"Marriage these days no longer comes with the expectation of till death do us part. Australia's divorce rate has continued to fall since reaching a high in 2001. However, despite this slight decrease, a third of relationships are still set to fail, on average after 8.9 years. How does Australian society adapt to such a high proportion of relationship breakdown, and what is being done to reduce the divorce rate in the interests of social and family stability? This book looks at national divorce and separation rates and the personal, financial and social factors which contribute to them. It also examines new approaches to handling the legal process of separation and divorce; issues involved in family breakdown; and guiding children through divorce."--Provided by publisher |
