Answer to Question 2

The student should indicate that Paul Bohannan identified six stations or the process of how couples divorce. The first stage is the emotional divorce where couples become dissatisfied and emotionally move apart. The second stage is the legal divorce: physical separation and legal action take place. The third stage is the economic divorce, which involves settlement of property. The fourth stage is the co-parental divorce, during which decisions about children are made. The fifth stage is the community divorce, during which the partners distance themselves from old couple friends and in-laws. The last stage is the psychic divorce, during which the partners emotionally free themselves from one another. The student should discuss each of these stages in further detail.
