Answer to Question 1

Improving outcomes:
When the parental relationship was high in conflict and conflict is reduced by the divorce.
When parents are able to quickly restore authoritative parenting.
Resulting in negative outcomes:
When the parents engage in a lot of conflict both before, during, and after the divorce.
When a parental relationship was low in conflict and conflict is increased during or after the divorce.
