Abstract
The purpose of this research was to examine the impact of family social status, income amount, source and stability on the social and emotional functioning of 256 divorced custodial parents. Data were collected from personal interviews. A social adjustment scale and a measure of emotional well-being served as the criterion measure of adjustment. The findings obtained suggest that while social status and income level are positively correlated with satisfactory post-divorce adjustment, equivalent incomes do have a differential impact on the custodial parent depending on their source, stability and security. Implications of these findings for practice are discussed.
