Perceived Changes in Grandmother-Grandchild Relations Following a Child's Separation or Divorce.
Gladstone, James W.
Gerontologist, v28 n1 p66-72 Feb 1988
Questioned 80 grandmothers about interaction with grandchildren before and after the divorce of a child. Found that following divorce, grandmothers thought that their contact with grandchildren increased, as did time spent babysitting, teaching family history, and offering advice on personal problems. Geographic proximity and custodial status of adult children mediated changes in contact and support. (Author/NB)
