Abstract
Abstract This paper reviews historical, psychological, and social concomitants of divorce and explores interactive dynamics of divorce and public policies. The individual consequences of divorce underscore the social and economic vulnerability of all women and children and illuminate the private and public meaning of family. Observations of the emotional impact of divorce reinforce the need to reformulate parenting roles and community supports. Divorce has undoubtedly influenced the development of the contemporary family but more importantly it has illustrated the need for social policies and programs that protect and enhance the welfare of children and parents regardless of family form or structure.
