Growing up in a divorced family leads to a variety of difficulties for adult offspring in their own partnerships. One of the best known and most powerful is the divorce cycle, the transmission of divorce from one generation to the next. This book examines how the divorce cycle has transformed family life in contemporary America by drawing on two national data sets. Compared to people from intact families, the children of divorce are more likely to marry as teenagers, but less likely to wed overall, more likely to marry people from divorced families, more likely to dissolve second and third marriages, and less likely to marry their live-in partners. Yet some of the adverse consequences of parental divorce have abated even as divorce itself proliferated and became more socially accepted. Taken together, these findings show how parental divorce is a strong force in people's lives and society as a whole.

Muchos ven la participación del gobierno en la política familiar, como una respuesta a las preocupaciones populares de que la familia estadounidense se encuentra en un estado de crisis. Una de las principales preocupaciones de las familias "frágiles" (como las monoparentales, normalmente con la madre al frente), es económica: las tasas de pobreza de las madres solteras son varias veces superiores a las de las familias biparentales. La privación económica durante el crecimiento se ha relacionado con una mala salud física, una capacidad intelectual reducida y un bajo rendimiento académico. Algunas ciencias sociales sostienen que el matrimonio es la solución a muchos de los problemas asociados con las familias monoparentales. Otros expertos creen que los programas gubernamentales diseñados para aumentar las tasas de matrimonio pueden causar más problemas de los que resuelven (es decir, violencia doméstica, divorcio, etc.). La propuesta explora cuestiones relacionadas con las familias frágiles desde diferentes perspectivas sobre las causas y consecuencias de este problema. Este libro está dividido en secciones que cubren las perspectivas jurídicas y teóricas, las causas y consecuencias del bienestar de los hijos y el aspecto de la importancia del padre para las "familias frágiles".
