Helping between Parents and Young Adult Offspring: The Role of Parental Marital Quality, Divorce, and Remarriage.

Amato, Paul R.; And Others

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v57 n2 p363-74 May 1995

Using longitudinal data, examined the impact of parental marital quality, divorce, and remarriage on the exchange of assistance between parents and offspring. Found that family members were able to adapt to alterations in family structure in a way that minimized the effects of changes by maintaining patterns of needed support. (RJM)
