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.
When parents become less consistent in discipline, or adopt more authoritarian or more permissive discipline systems.
Where there is a big drop in family income, possibly combined with a change in neighborhood.
