Answer to Question 1

Individual personal resources such as coping skills, social skills, and self-efficacy (e.g., viewing the divorce as an opportunity for personal growth or to escape a dysfunctional marriage rather than as a personal failing or as a tragedy)
Interpersonal resources such as building new social support networks (e.g., finding a new partner or meeting new friends)
Structural resources such as employment, financial resources, community services

Answer to Question 2

Amato (2000) lists the following as stressors or risk factors that make adjustment to divorce more difficult:

Child custody actions such as gaining sole custody and responsibility for parenting one's children or the opposite, losing all custody rights

Ongoing conflicts with an ex-spouse

Loss of financial resources that leads to downward economic mobility (more likely to affect women than men, especially custodial mothers)

Disruption of social and emotional support networks (e.g., in-laws, mutual friends, marital support)
