Vaus, David De and Gray, Matthew. "Family transitions among Australia's children: How much time do children spend in specific family types, and to what extent do they experience various family transitions? The estimates reported here take into account the dynamic nature of family experiences throughout childhood." Family Matters 65 (Winter 2003): p10(7) Student Resource Center - Gold. Gale.

Children experience family disruption caused by a change in their parents relationship status and estimates how the children will treat their children
Most common: transition following parental seperation
Why do these transitions effect children?
These transitions effect the parents' moods and behavior, and effect their parent-child relationships
Seperation between parents generally leads to less family income, resulting in an overal negative outcome
DIRECT QUOTE:
"Children who have experienced transitions not only show short-and-medium term distress but are also at risk for long-term difficulties over many domains of development and achievement."
