Divorce-and After: II. Separation Without Divorce

February 19, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the experiences of author's life after divorce. The separation has been on the whole a happy one. As things have worked out, each of them has got out of it, about everything that would have had to be fought for if the arrangement had been determined by a contest in the courts. Of course the author and his wife has had to make sacrifices-some of them pretty heavy-which it is proper to charge up in the reckoning as the price of the mistakes they both made in the beginning. According to the conventional view, the worst disadvantage of the arrangement is that it has deprived the children of what is called "a father's care."
