An ecosystemic assessment of the 'children of divorce intervention program' for children between the ages of eight to twelve years

This study has been an attempt to understand the progression of twenty-eight 'children of divorce' as they have participated in the Children of Divorce Intervention Program (CODIP) and through the fifteen-month follow-up period thereafter. There were 15 girls and 13 boys; their ages ranged from 7 to 13 years; they were in grades 2 to 7 at school; 20 children were of middle-class status, 8 children were from lower socio-economic backgrounds; 7 children had parents whose divorce was pending, the other 21 children had parents who had been divorced between 3 months and 11 years; and 26 of the 28 children were in the custody of their mothers.
