Full textThe arising on the legal scene in 1999 of various types of union as alternatives to marriage (cohabitation and french civil partnership -PACS-) contributed to reconsider the very notion of couple as the core of legislative priorities. More and more understood as a unitarian concept, the couple is now included in an understanding that goes beyond the type of union, to the point where a common law of couples becomes a reality, promoted by the legislator. Doing so, the legal ways of ending a cohabition or a PACS are now obviously converging with the way of ending a marriage, thanks to the extension of protective laws that initially concerned only married couples.From here, must we consider inevitable the development of a common law of ending a couple, at the expense of the specificity of divorce ? Or, at the opposite, is the ending of a couple still the best representation of the fundamental differences between unions, revealing their very nature - moreover now that the laws of conjugality have been deeply reconsidered through the legalization of same sex marriage ?Such is the alternative for the legislator, who has now to give a brand new coherence to the laws of conjugality

Full textWithin the span of the sixties, Europe has experienced an upheaval of its family law, as well as a change of practices and representations dealing with the social management of family relations. How does this show up in the control exercized by the State on the family ? We will try to see what has change in the repartition between public and private regulation of family relations, by analyzing the management of conjugal relations in italy where this relation was put in the limelight with an unusual clarity by becoming the object of a national debate during the 1974 divorce referendum. This latter event indicates the triumph in the collective representation of a new legitimate managing of conjugal difficulties. Strongly dramatized and now recognized as potentially insolvable, such difficulties are supposedly beyond the spouses control and should fall within the real of collective control by the State. They are equated with other normal risks of private life, claiming for regulation by a neutral body : only the State and its agents seem capable of fullfilling this function. One may observe a similar process in the whole legal construction of the time concerning the conjugal relation and in the decade of concomitant discussions. The importance of conjugal conflicts calls for the elaboration of many procedures of public regulation of these conflicts, going as far as an attempt of total control by the State. However real social practices show a very selective use of these procedures: the users of courts and social services effectively foil most attempts to control private conflicts. Mere recognition of an insolvable conflict, or enforcement of alimony are in fact the main demands on the State, seen only as the welfare State in charge of just another social risk

Full textThe legal union formed by two persons living as a couple is based on the existence of a joint living for which French Law sanctions three modes of organization: marriage, civil partnership and cohabitation. The intensity of this community depends on the nature of conjugality. As a consequence, each of the presented modes of organization consists of an uneven source of solidarity. Solidarity is both material and moral, and does not survive the dissolution of the union, which therefore denotes, in some cases, a source of damage or a state of necessity. In order to compensate this situation, French Law provides for compensation when couples break up. This transfer of value takes the form of damages, of a spousal support or of an in rem verso compensation. However, as a consequence of the decline of fault and the accession of an objective liability, the whole compensation system is deteriorating and no more seems suitable for the union the way it is understood, i.e. liberal in its break up and liberated from individuals. This decline encourages us to look for the existence of other compensation methods. The termination of the marital bond dissolves the joint living without prejudice to the effects already produced. Yet, throughout the shared life, the union causes a certain mutual wealth that needs to be divided. This redistribution, made trough a community, a joint ownership or a company, ends up compensating the possible disparity in property. When the compensation is insufficient or cannot permit one of the spouses to support themselves, the Law organizes a minimal redistribution, taking into account the present assets of a spouse in order to grant a useful right to the other, especially concerning accommodation. Those two forms of distribution represent the expression of a new model: the distributive compensation

Full textWhen reviewing a financial settlement for a couple, one notices that the law does not allow unjust enrichment. Thus, the purpose of financial balancing is to achieve an equility between couple members. This review aims at comparing the balancing process to what the rule is under law (de jure lata) and to what the rule should be (de jure ferenda). Indeed, pursuing a coherent policy requires one to consider an hierarchy among various form of couples. To do otherwise, by strict application of a hard rule of law, would create devastating effects. The nature of the couples' relationship and commitment must determine the degree of balancing, because each person's legal and financial rights are directly related to their respective obligations. This concept leads to the gradation of effects between marriage, registered partnerships and cohabitation. It is the enforcement of what the French refer to as " Pas de droit sans devoir " (No right without duty). This is the personal and original vision that my thesis offers

Full textDuring the XXth century, union's behaviours were considerably changed. Mariage, founder element of couple life during the first half of the century, happens frequently later in unions at the end of the XXth century, and first unions are more and more often broken. Second unions become more frequent. Regional analysis of the union behaviours evolution at the end of the XXth century shows a clear dichotomy between the north(northeast), where first unions are relatively more frequent and more precocious, and the south, were, at the opposite, first unions happen less frequently and later. Regional statistical correlations between phenomena linked to the first union and fertility are, in spite of the fall of intensity of primonuptiality in the generations, are stable and strong. If fertility is always linked to primonuptiality in the generations of the middle of the WWth century, it's more and more linked to the fact to live a first union (with or without marriage). So, a broad part of regional fertility variations are explain by regional union behaviours's variations

Full textThe increased number of mixed marriages, combined with the rising disputes borne from the dissolution of marriage, help make sense on the issue of mixed marriage separation in Private International Law (PIL). Traditionally, tools in PIL allow solving disputes linked to the separating couple thanks to the public regulation or to the international conventions. In this way, issues are resolved by the application of the rules based on an agreement of estate concerned by the separation, or by the application of their own law when the solution proposed by the other estate is a contrary to the estate values. By contrast, PIL limitations appear with the matter of new forms of couple's separation. Indeed, the meaning of a couple is various and the rules of the PIL challenge the stakes of the mixed marriage, which can be homosexual or heterosexual, but also can be legal or contractual. In this way, the research has to be focused on a custom solution for each type of couple because the diversity in these situations is so important that the traditional tools of the PIL are not sufficient. Harmonizing the difference is the core challenge launched by the matter of the couples' separation in PIL. In this way, rules have been created, revealing the limitations of these rules in the case of new forms of couple
Avramo, Audrey. "Les conditions de vie du couple : essai sur les obligations conjugales." Toulon, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004TOUL0043.
Full textLiving in and out of wedlock are two life choices both recognized by law and society. In spite of having lost part of its appeal, the institution of marriage remains the more powerful of the two as it is the institutionalized form of life partnership. The institution of marriage or wedlock, is the bluepoint to all life partnerships, the basis from which all rights and obligations of marriage are transfered to common law usage either trough substitutes in (common) law or trough the means of particular statutes namely the PACS (civil pact of solidarity) in France. The emergence of judicial rules between unmarried partners therefore tend toward the same goal as that of married partners. What is of import, is the economic safeguard of the weaker, or less well off member of the union. Living standards are at the heart of marital obligations which are there to ensure the smooth running of the partnership however the latter came to be constituted. These obligations survive beyond the breakdown of the union so as to protect the weaker member in the material aspects of his or her life

Full textThe context of a couple’s break-up, whether they are married, in a civil partnership, engaged or cohabiting, is conducive to prejudice the respective interests of either person in the couple. As the issue of compensation for damages emerges, the temptation is to blame the other person, especially when this one can be regarded as the cause of the break-up. An action can be brought on the basis of tort liability in the section 1382 of the French civil Code. The question of its implementation was still open. A detailed analysis of the case-law shows that this legal basis, which is supposed to award compensation, is actually used as a punishment. This resistance to the development of objectification and to the increasing legal neutrality in the organization of the couple’s relationships had to be clarified and explained. The first objective of the study was to grasp the reality of the phenomenon : tort liability is used as a “private penalty”, which highlights its repressive function. The second purpose was to determine the values that judges are trying to protect through this particular way of application of the law. Beyond the diversity of sanctioned behaviours, the thesis aims at bringing out the role of judges in finding a right way between the right to compensation and the freedom to break-up

Full textThe law relative to the civil pact of solidarity marks the entry of the term couple in the Civil code. In the married couples oppose the heterosexual or homosexual common law husbands answering the definition of the article 515-8 of the Civil code, the common law husbands who have a not stable common life nor continue or who do not live together, escaping the definition of the text, the heterosexual or homosexual partners of a civil pact of solidarity. The test of the separation reveals in which measure the way of life, in marriage or out of wedlock, guarantees the economic safety of the weakest member of the couple. For all the individuals and particularly those who are not engaged in the marriage bonds, the gradation in this protection depends on the dose of will which the members of the couple breathe in the organization of their relations. The regulation of the consequences of the separation has for spring the will of the members of the couple. This contractual freedom can not exercise except any state controI. The spouses can not "démarier" without the intervention of the judge. As for the common law husbands, the more they want to do without the right, the more they need it. The movement of contractualisation and "desinstitutionnalisation" of the couple is not unlimited. In spite of the vulgarizing of the patrimonial reports of the individuals living in couple and on the tendency to the conjugalisation of the patrimonial right of the family, he would not know how to exist a single patrimonial right of the couple so much the notion of couple takes on varied realities. The couple would not know, as recognized legal entity, to be endowed with a generative status of legal effects applicable to all the unions answering her definition. The society should not less try hard to garantee the future of the economic status of the members of the couple, envisaged as place of stake in common resources of the interested, whatever is their way of life

Full textThe phenomenon of commitments is complex, variously perceived and experienced. In this study it is trying to explain how Adult Children of Divorce (ACOD) perceive and experience commitments in Couple Relations. Other countries researches show that ACOD have learned in the family the behaviour‘s models which do not support the development of reciprocal, close and intimate couple relations. According to some authors, ACOD reach their early adolescence with anxiety about love, commitments and marriage, because they are afraid of the failure and wounds. Most of them can not begin the relationships because the fear of alienation is so strong that they might avoid close relations for a long time. Whereas another authors say that ACOD take in marriages earlier than adult children from intact families. The goal of the present research is to reveal in what way the phenomenon is experienced by particular individuals and what is the unique experience of commitments in couple relations ACOD in each concrete case. Eight Adult Children of Divorce (4 women, 4men) who have the partners participated in the study. The method of phenomenological analysis of A.Giorgi was applied in the study. Eight specific situational definitions of the phenomenon were defined. The total final definition of the experience of commitment in Couples relationships of Adult Children of Divorce was formulated with the reference to these specific definitions. The experience of commitments in Couple’s Relations is... [to full text]

Full textIn a context where the family is losing ground to the individual, the study highlights the emergence of a requirement for cohabitants to provide each other with financial support. Marriage serves as an example on which French public authorities model forms of common-law union and “civil solidarity pacts” (equivalent to British Civil Partnerships). With the development of a family model of the couple founded on financial interdependence, French legislators are paving the way for a new set of family laws based on pragmatic economic and social principles. However, this modelling is flawed and brings to light inconsistencies in the current legal treatment of the different forms of union. A critical and forward-thinking analysis, the study identifies mutual financial commitments as being at stake in the contemporary legal treatment of the various forms of partnership, but equally refutes the notion of any adherence to a single approach. The study envisages the possibility of legal codes of collaboration and financial protection adapted to the different forms of union. Diversity, fairness, freedom, legal security and commitment are the guiding principles. The study leads to a reaffirmation of the principle of free-choice which presides over common-law unions, thus excluding any notion of the formalisation of one set of rules for the family, arguing instead in favour of the conservation of informal unions within the sphere of common law and of conventional obligations of financial support. The study proposes the introduction of a requirement for economic collaboration throughout the duration of the union, acknowledged by spouses and partners, and adapted to the individuals' expectations, thus reconciling mutual obligations with independence. Recognising the need for individual protection upon the dissolution of a partnership, this legal framework aims to provide an answer to the economic, social and demographic questions at stake in contemporary France

Full textLiving together, which is an inherent feature of a couple, leads to the creation of common proprietary interests whose distribution is made even more complex by ongoing contracts at the moment of the couple’s union or dissolution, which the French doctrine refers to as "opérations non dénouées". These contracts are characterized by the fact that their effects are still running at the time of the formation or dissolution of the union; they may be only partially executed or not exectuted at all at the time of the couple’s union or dissolution.Indeed, property law struggles to comprehend some contracts whose outcome remains uncertain.And yet, the number of these contracts has significantly increased. They may be the technical basis of some fees paid to one of the spouses (through profit sharing or stock option), the result of his or her savings (life insurance policies or capitalization contracts) or that of the acquisition terms and conditions of property (an interest loan, an option, a preliminary sales agreement). The issue of a couple’s liquidation and distribution of assets has recently become a greater source of conflict and difficulty insofar as it occurs following a divorce or a separation.Faced with the legal and economic uncertainty pertaining to the "opérations non dénouées", one may then wonder how to deal with their distribution even though their results are precisely unknown.The diversity of these contracts, whose conclusion is somewhat complex and whose settlement is delayed makes it necessary to conduct a comprehensive study of the criteria that should be used to determine whether the assets belong to one of the spouses, or fall within the realm of undivided property, as well as of the issue of valuation. The purpose of this study is to suggest fair solutions for the distribution of these "opérations non dénouées". In other words, it aims at proposing solutions, which are more likely to ensure a fair distribution between the spouses. To achieve the goal of ensuring distributive justice, it is necessary to set appropriate criteria and to valuate as fairly as possible the economic advantages or the debts resulting from these "opérations non dénouées"

Full textThis research approaches family mediation as a new social practice in expansion in many countries. In particular, it questions the specific models of family mediation in countries with different traditions and cultures as well as France and Brazil. This study highlights the dominant models and their influence on the practices of mediators. It identifies the main characteristics and practices of mediation that are recognized in Brazil and France, and their effects on couples.The research was drawn from a collection of data constructed by semi-guided interviews and questionnaires applied to both the French and Brazilian family mediators as couples who are benefited by mediation services. The method of data analysis was done by computer using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for organizing, processing and descriptive data analysis.In both countries, the results indicate that extrajudicial mediation is more appropriate to the interviewed couples for the following reasons: lies before court proceedings, even for those couples already undergoing a judicial mediation or for those who were subject for a determination by the judge; develops a better communication between the couple; obtains higher satisfaction rate from those who were benefited by it; is most recommended to other people, especially in Brazil; is not imposed but rather perceived as an advantage for the management of conflicts.Extrajudicial mediation is applied to both the French model as the Brazilian one (which are however different in level of evolution), and is more effective in the regulation of conflicts, because it favors, among other things, better communication, and a higher rate of satisfaction by the couples and mediators

Full textWhile the drop in marriage rates and the increase in cohabitation and divorce rates that occurred in Western countries since the 1960s or 1970s are well known, the reasons why these trends developed remain elusive. This thesis aims at understanding these and other sociodemographic phenomena by using rational-choice explanatory models and testing them on aggregate data (both international and French) and on individual French data (regression and event-history models estimated mainly from the French Study of Family History survey (1999)). Thus, this thesis addresses the following questions: 1. Why do French people get married less and less and later and later, and why do they cohabit more and more?2. Why are men generally older than their spouse?3. Why do French couples get divorced and separated more and more ?4. Why do couples with certain characteristics get divorced more often than others ?5. Why is it women (not men) who generally file for divorce and initiate the divorce?It appears that, despite some unavoidable difficulties in its application to certain data, rational-choice theory is a precious tool for social scientists: a systematic use of this theory not only gives a better understanding of observed phenomena, it also raises original research questions

Full textThe present Ph. D. Dissertation is concerned, as its title suggests, with the construction and deconstruction of the couple in Wallachia during the eighteenth century. The thesis is structured according to two major steps in the life of couple : the way in which a family created and the failure related to divorce. The source material of my dissertation consists of the unpublished judicial archive produced by the ecclesiastical court of justice. This important institution functioned without interruption between 1738-1964 beside the Bucharest Metropolitan church. It attributions covered the matrimonial cases as welle as those related to the "bad morals". My analysis is a social historical one ; my primary aim was to rebuild the daily life of the social actors of marriage history, using the methodological tools of the history of mentalities, micro-history, or social anthropology. The first part of the thesis offers an analysis of the Orthodox Church in Wallachia as an institution, which sets the norms and recommendations regarding the life of the individuals. My research dwelled mostly on the judicial practices of the ecclesiastical court of justice, which revealed the tight connection between the subject and his/her community. The second part of the dissertation follows closely each step of the long adventure of a couple : the choice of the partner, the dowry, the engagement, the wedding, and all related rituals. Beside the social and religious factors, the economic considerations played a major role in establishing a new family. The third part of the thesis analysed the discourses emerging around the failure of a couple. Divorce had been always accepted and garanted by the Orthodox Church but only on sollid grounds, specified by the canon law : bad treatment, adultery, abandonment of the conjugal home, illness, or one of the partner's retreats into a monastery. The conclusion sums up the main findings of th thesis and sets tasks for further research

Full textThe overall aim of this study is to explore factors that contribute towards divorce among young couples in the Lebowakgomo area of Limpopo Province. The objectives of this study were to identify factors contributing towards divorce among young couples in Lebowakgomo, and to establish whether the causes of divorce among young couples in Lebowakgomo are the same as those identified in the literature. The research used the qualitative method in the study and the exploratory research design to investigate the factors contributing to divorce among young couples at Lebowakgomo Township. The target group was divorced young adults up to the age of 35 years who had been married for the period of not more than ten years. The researcher used snowball sampling because he knew someone who met the criteria for inclusion in this study. The sample size was based on the principle of saturation which suggests that data collection stops when there is no new theme emerging. The researcher reached a point of saturation at participant six. The researcher used the semi-structured interview to collect data. This allowed the researcher to elicit information about the respondents’ thoughts, feelings and perceptions as open-ended questions were used. The researcher used Interpretative Phenomenological Data Analysis (IPA) which allowed the researcher to explore in detail how the participants made sense of their personal and social world. This study found that sudden character change, lack of and poor communication, financial problems, abuse and infidelity are associated with divorce among young couples. It also emerged in the study that mastering all the stages of family life cycle can reduce the chances of divorce among young couples. This can be achieved by ensuring that young couples receive pre-marital counselling before they enter into marriage. In addition, after entering into marriage young couples should attend marital enrichment programmes.

This study aims to explore the perception of “marital quality” and “attitudes toward divorce” of married couples in Taipei. It also investigates different views between different “personal background factors” and “familial background factors” couples. The correlation of “marital quality” and “attitudes toward divorce” is presented as well. Moreover, how would “personal background factors” and “familial background factors” influence the “martial quality” and “attitudes toward divorce” is also probed. Purposive sampling and snow sampling were adopted to on the samples of 600 Taipei married couples, 559 samples were all valid returns (93.16%). A “personal background questionnaire”, “parental martial scale”, and “attitude toward divorce scale” were used as tools. Data processing were performed by the software SPSS for Windows 22.0 with the statistical methods such as descriptive statistics, one-sample t-test, independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffe’s Method, Pearson’s product-moment correlation and multiple regression analysis. The results indicated that: A. The current situation of “marital quality” and “attitudes toward divorce” of the Taipei married couples: 1. Data show that the “marital quality” in Taipei is positive. The “acceptance with respect” dimension appears the highest quality; while the “affective interaction” reveals the worst quality. 2. The “attitudes toward divorce” of Taipei married couples tend to be open. They have higher tendency to accept divorce. “The intentions of divorce” dimension shows the highest degree of acceptance. The “marital sustainability” reveals the most conservative attitudes and the least acceptance. B. The difference between “personal background factors” and “marital quality” in Taipei married couples: 1. There is low negatively significant correlation among “age”, “marital years”, “children numbers” and “marital quality.” That is, the couples who are older, have longer marital years, and have more children tend to have worse marital quality. 2. There is low positively significant correlation among “education”, “sexual satisfaction” and “marital quality.” Data revealed that the couples who receive more education and enjoy better sexual satisfaction have higher martial quality. C. The discrepancy in Taipei married couples’ marital quality based on familial background factors: There is low negatively significant correlation among “spouse marital conflicts”, “acceptance of extramarital relationship”, “perception of familial financial pressure” “parental marital conflicts”, “attitudes toward parental divorce” and “martial quality.” The study indicated that the couples who have more conflicts with spouses, higher acceptance of extramarital relationship, more partial marital conflicts and higher acceptance of partial divorce have worse marital quality. D. The discrepancy in Taipei married couples’ “attitudes toward divorce” according to “personal background factors”: 1.There is significant difference in Taipei married couples’ “attitudes toward divorce” based on the “gender” factor. “Wives” are more liberal than their “husbands” and tend to accept divorce. 2.There is low negatively significant correlation between “sexual satisfaction” and “attitudes toward divorce.” The results indicate that the married couples with higher sexual satisfaction hold more conservative attitude toward divorce. E. The discrepancy in Taipei married couples’ “attitudes toward divorce” according to “familial background factors”: There is low positively significant correlation among Taipei married couples’ “spouse marital conflicts”, “attitudes toward extramarital relationship”, “parental marital conflicts”, “attitudes toward parental divorce” and “attitudes toward divorce.” The study reveals that married couples who have more conflicts with their spouses, higher attitudes toward extramarital relationship, more parental marital conflicts, and higher attitudes toward parental divorce hold more liberal attitude toward divorce. F.The correlation between Taipei married couples’ “marital quality” and “attitudes toward divorce”: There is low negatively significant correlation between the participants’ “marital quality” and “attitudes toward divorce.” The higher evaluation they respond to the marital quality, the less possibility for them to accept divorce. G. The predictive power of “marital quality” based on Taipei married couples’ “personal background factors” and “familial background factors”: There is significant correlation between participants’ “education: above graduate school”, “sexual satisfaction”, “conflicts with spouses”, “attitudes toward extramarital relationship” and “familial financial pressure” factors and marital quality. Forty one percent of the variability can be predicted. The participants who receive higher education and have more sexual satisfaction gave higher evaluation of marital quality, while the ones who have more conflicts with spouses, more liberal attitudes toward extramarital relationship and higher perception of familial financial pressure gave lower evaluation to marital quality. H.The prediction of “attitudes toward divorce” based on Taipei married couples’ “personal background factors” and “familial background factors”: There is significant correlation between participants’ “gender: female”, “marital years”, “attitudes toward extramarital relationship”, “parental marital conflicts” and “attitudes toward parental divorce” factors and “attitudes toward divorce.” Twenty four percent of the variability can be predicted. Data appear that participants who are female, more liberal extramarital relationship, more sensitive to parental conflicts, and higher perception of parental divorce tend to accept divorce. Those who have more marital years hold more conservation attitudes toward divorce. I. The explanation of “attitudes toward divorce” based on Taipei married couples’ “personal background factors”, “familial background factors” and “marital quality”: There is significant correlation between participants’ “gender: female”, “marital years”, “attitudes toward extramarital relationship”, “parental marital conflicts” and “attitudes toward parental divorce” factors and “attitudes toward divorce.” Twenty four percent of the variability can be predicted. Data appear that participants who are female, more liberal extramarital relationship, more sensitive to parental conflicts, and higher perception of parental divorce tend to accept divorce. Those who have more marital years hold more conservation attitudes toward divorce. The study demonstrates that married couples should carefully nurture the marriage and family and maintain appeal for marital relationship. Rational and honesty communication is the priority when facing the marital and familial conflicts. Besides, establish positive attitudes toward sexual relationship to support intimate connection with the spouses is also important. Moreover, couples are supposed to respect each other and reach a consensus on familial finance. They also have to learn methods to foster a complete marriage as well as family.

Abstract This study is to investigate the current status of the married peoples’ “attitudes on divorce” and “well-being” in Taipei area and the influences on the “attitudes on divorce” and “well-being” of the married people in Taipei area who come from different “personal backgrounds”. In addition, the correlation of the married peoples’ “attitudes on divorce” and “well-being” was probed. Furthermore, the explanation of “well-being” was tested by “personal background” and “attitudes on divorce” of Taipei married people. In this study, a questionnaire survey method was used for collecting data, and proportionate stratified sampling was adopted on the samples of 700 married people living in Taipei area (Taipei City and New Taipei City), among which 581 were valid returns (83%). Research instruments included a personal background questionnaire, attitudes on divorce scale and personal well-being scale. SPSS for Windows 12.0 was used to analyze all the data collected with the approaches such as descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, Scheffe Method, Pearson’s product-moment correlation and multiple regression analysis. The major findings were as follows: A. The current status of the married peoples’ “attitude on divorce” and “well-being” 1. The married people in Taipei area tend to have more open-minded attitude toward “attitude on divorce” and appear to have more acceptance of divorcing behavior. Of all the dimensions, the “intention of divorce” shows the highest degree of acceptance; whereas, “the permanence of marriage” shows the lowest degree of acceptance. 2. The married people in Taipei area tend to have a “middle level” situation toward “well-being”. Of all the dimensions, the “optimism” shows a highest degree of well-being; whereas, the “life satisfaction” shows a lowest degree of well-being. B. The influence of “different personal backgrounds” on “attitude on divorce” 1. The female married in Taipei area with more open-minded attitude toward “attitude on divorce” than the male ones tend to accept the divorce behavior. 2. The married in Taipei area who have lower “first married age” with more open-minded attitude toward “attitude on divorce” tend to accept the divorce behavior. 3. The married in Taipei area having lower “number of children” with more open-minded attitude toward “attitude on divorce” tend to accept the divorce behavior. 4. The married in Taipei area having “graduated from graduate school and the higher” education level with more open-minded attitude toward “attitude on divorce” than those having “graduated from senior high school” education level tend to accept the divorce behavior. 5. The married in Taipei who believing in Christianity with conservative attitude toward “attitude on divorce” than others tend to not accept the divorce behavior. 6. The “economy stress” presents the married in Taipei area with a more open-minded attitude in the “marriage permanence” level of “attitude on divorce” tend to accept the divorce behavior. 7. There is “low”, negative and significant correlation between the “satisfaction in sex” and “attitude on divorce” of the married in Taipei area. 8. There is “low”, positive and significant correlation between the “personal extramarital experience” and “attitude on divorce” of the married in Taipei area. 9. There is “low”, positive and significant correlation between the “spouse’s extramarital experience” and “attitude on divorce” of the married in Taipei area. C. The influence of “different personal background” on “well-being” 1. The married in Taipei area having “graduated from graduate school and the higher” education level with higher well-being than those having “graduated from senior high school” education level. 2. The married in Taipei who believing in Christianity with higher well-being than others tend to not accept the divorce behavior. 3. There is “middle”, negative and significant correlation between the “economy stress” and “well-being” of the married in Taipei area. 4. There is “low”, positive and significant correlation between the “satisfaction in sex” and “well-being” of the married in Taipei area. 5. The married without “personal extramarital experience” has a higher well-being than those with “personal extramarital experience”. D. The correlation between “attitude on divorce” and “well-being” As a whole, there is low, negative and significant correlation between the participants’ “attitude on divorce” and “well-being”. In other words, the more the married in Taipei area tend to open-minded toward attitude on divorce, the more they accept the divorce behavior; the less the married in Taipei area feel the well-being, the more they accept the divorce behavior. E. The explanation of “well-being” by “personal background” and “attitude on divorce” 1. The married are female, higher education level, unsatisfied in sex and extramarital experience of her spouse, then they tend to open-minded toward attitude on divorce, appear to accept divorce behavior. 2. The married without “economy stress” and with “satisfaction in sex” has a higher well-being feeling. 3. The married without economy stress and with “satisfaction in sex” tend to conservative toward attitude on divorce, appear to low accept divorce behavior but high in well-being. According to the findings and conclusions in this study, it is indicated the married in Taipei area should learn to interact with the spouse well, make a constructive communication and perceive the importance of the “attitude on divorce” and “well-being” to maintain the marriage and hold the family. Second, we suggest the unmarried to develop correct marital concepts by participating premarital educational courses and counseling groups to know marriage maintenances and managements. Finally, we suggest the married life counseling organizations and the related government hold various courses and lectures about marriage in order to establish healthy marital concepts and increase the well-being to the unmarried by following the social propensity.

The focus of this comparative study was to understand beliefs in marriage, relative power in relations, and confrontation coping strategies between couples attempting to divorce in family mediation in domestic court, and ordinary married couples. Fifty eight participants from the couples attempting to divorce in family mediation in domestic court were recruited, including 29 males and 29 females, they were asked to complete the questionnaire before they started the family mediation procedure. For the group of married couples, 28 males and 30 females who were volunteers from the Internet confirmed that they did not intend to divorce, also completed the questionnaires on paper by mail. The instruments included the Implicit Theories of Relationships Scale, the Dyadic Adjustment Scale, and the Marital Coping Inventory. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, Multivariable ANOVA, and logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the data.The main findings are as follows: First, there was no difference between the married couples and family mediation couples in terms of age and gender. However, when participants were divided into plaintiffs, counterparties and married couples, the numbers of female plaintiffs were significantly more. Second, family mediation couples versus married couples had significant differences in " beliefs in the relationship development; and "relative power in relation,” couples in the family mediation group had a bigger gap in their power distribution; and on "confrontation coping strategies”, couples in the family mediation group tended to escape into "self-interest" activities when confrontation happened. Third, when in three groups (plaintiffs, counterparties, and married couples),on " beliefs in the relationship development " married couples scored substantially higher than the other two groups;on "relative power relationship" husbands were higher in the power hierarchy in the respondents group than in the married couples group, and on"confrontation coping strategies" these groups presented essential differences in all items, including the items of "seeking social support", "conflicts", "introspective self-blame", "self-interest", and "avoidance".However, it was only in the "conflicts " items that the plaintiffs scored higher than married couples. In all of the other items, both plaintiffs and counterparties scored higher than married couples. Fourth, female respondents scored higher than the male ones on " beliefs in the relationship development " but males scored higher in the items of "seeking social support" than the female ones. Fifth, the following six variables could predict whether the couple wouldl enter family mediation procedures for divorce or not. They were "destiny beliefs" ," beliefs in the relationship development ", "relative power relationship", "positive approach”, "introspective self-blame" and "self-interest.” When the scores were higher on "destiny beliefs", "relative power relationship," "introspective self-blame", and "self-interest" and lower on "marriage development beliefs", and "positive approach", the couples were more likely to enter into the family mediation procedures for divorce in the domestic court. Research findings and implications were addressed. Key words: family mediation, marriage beliefs in married couples, relative power relationship in married couples, confrontation coping strategies in married couples.

Full textThe main goal of the present doctoral thesis was to determine whether certain items of an observation grid assessing parental behaviors following separation allow to distinguish parents whose risk of Deterioration of the Parent-Child Relationship (DPCR) is very high from those whose risk of DPCR is very low. This goal led to secondary objectives regarding the prediction of such dynamics, the issue of sexual abuse allegation toward the child in such situations, and the context in which this phenomenon appears in the context of parental separation. This thesis includes two articles and a brief note of research. The first article is entitled: How and Why Are Men and Women Affected Differently by Marital Separation? This article is a critical literature review regarding the consequences of divorce for adults as well as its differential impact on men and women. Explanatory hypotheses regarding the origin of these diverse impacts are discussed. Furthermore, this article offers a conceptualization of such impacts as a continuum, which takes into account the positive and as well as the negative consequences of divorce, such as the dynamics of DPCR following separation. Different risk factors and protective factors are also suggested. The second article is entitled: Exploratory Study of the Characteristics and Behaviors of Separated Couples Engaged in a Dynamic of Deterioration of the Parent-Child Relationship. This article discusses whether it is possible to distinguish, on certain variables, separated couples who are at high risk of being engaged in a dynamic of DPCR from those who are at low risk. This issue was studied among 82 separated couples for which the risk of DPCR was assessed as being very low or very high (in the latter case was distinguished the group where the mother was the denigrating parent from the group where the father was the denigrating parent). An instrument called the Deterioration of the Parent-Child Relationship Observation Grid (DPCROG), adapted from an instrument developed by Johnson, Walters, & Olesen, 2005, was used in the present study. Analyses of variance and chi-squared analyses were carried out and revealed that ex-couples in the group at high risk for DPCR distinguished themselves from ex-couples in the comparison group by a significantly longer marriage and a higher level of conflict. In addition, results of 2 X 2 repeated measures analyses of variance, as well as results of Tukey’s post-hoc tests, revealed that parents in the comparison group, denigrated parents, and denigrating parents differed from one another in terms of their alienating coparenting behaviors, their supportive coparenting relationship, their mistrustful coparenting relationship and their role reversal behaviors. Finally, results of Tukey’s post-hoc analyses and chi-squared analyses indicated that the length of marriage and the intensity of conflict allow to predict the risk of DPCR. The brief note of research is entitled: Exploratory Study of Child Sexual Abuse Allegations in the context of a Deterioration of the Parent-Child Relationship. This note of research is concerned with what has long been considered as one of the characteristics of the dynamics of DPCR: the allegation of child sexual abuse declared by a parent against the other parent or against people close to the other parent. This issue was studied among 82 separated couples for which the risk of DPCR was assessed as being very high or very low. The results indicated that there were no significant differences between groups in regards to these allegations. Furthermore, mothers seemed to have a greater tendency to allege such abuse in comparison to fathers. Finally, whereas none of these allegations were judged as sufficiently credible in order for the Direction de la Protection de la Jeunesse (DPJ) to intervene, several hypotheses were raised to explain this finding.
