Separation and divorce have become an inevitable factor in American
society. Even those of us who have not experienced these events di
rectly have been touched by them through association with parents,
friends, neighbors, or co-workers. Frequently, we have observed
these individuals express a variety of negative emotions, including
insecurity, anxiety, depression, fear, and anger. If children are
involved, their par ents' decisions and often dysfunctional
maneuvers in this matter will most likely have a profound affect on
them. One such decision will be with whom they will live. Although
the great majority of children will live with their mothers
following a divorce, this arrangement is no longer accepted as
inevitable. Changes such as an ever-increasing num ber of mothers
with full-time out of home employment and research supporting the
significance and competence of fathers in child rearing have led
many observers to challenge the assumption of maternal supe
riority. These changes, as well as those related to the law and
child cus tody, for example the increased acceptability of a joint
custody arrange ment, have complicated the process of deciding
where a child should live after his or her parents' divorce.
Consequently, others are fre quently called upon to assist in the
decision making and render an opin ion concerning custody and
visitation. By and large these individuals will be members of the
mental health profession.
