Life course approaches focus on essential questions about individuals’ trajectories, longitudinal analyses, cross-fertilization across disciplines like life- span psychology, developmental social psychology, sociology of the life course, social demography, socio-economics, social history. Life course is also at the crossroads of several fields of specialization like family and social relationships, migration, education, professional training and employment, and health. This Series invites academic scholars to present theoretical, methodological, and empirical advances in the analysis of the life course, and to elaborate on possible implications for society and social policies applications. Topics appropriate for the series include among others: Longitudinal analyses and methods Educational and employment trajectories Occupational careers Migration Social networks and family configurations Health trajectories Non-normative events Social and individual vulnerabilities Stress over the life course Resources Accumulation of (dis) advantages and social inequalities Social mobility Personality and identity development Agency within social structures Work-family balance Social policies Volumes in this series are of interest for researchers, professionals, policy makers, and students in social sciences and related fields.

The workshop brought together scholars from several European countries to present and discuss their research findings on the consequences of separation and divorce for parents’ life courses. Publishing a book is never the work of the editors alone. There are many people who encouraged, helped, and supported us. Thanks go to the German Science Foundation (under Grant Number 266395921) for financing the abovementioned workshop and to the Hertie School of Governance for hosting and promoting the workshop. It was Bernadette Deelen-Mans from Springer Nature who pushed the idea of bringing the contributions of the workshop together in an edited volume. Thanks also go to Alexander James from Springer Nature who sup- ported us in the process of producing this book. This book is made available as an open-access publication. We thank the University of Rostock and the Hertie School for their financial support of the open-access costs. Before the final book was passed to Springer Nature, a lot of hard work went into formatting and editing the texts, figures, references, and tables. We thank Annika Krömer who greatly supported us in this work. Particular thanks go to Miriam Hils who has worked with us many times before. Again, she has been a great support in the language editing and proof- reading of the book. Last but not least, we thank the dedicated and disciplined authors of this volume. Without their excellent time management and responsive- ness, this book would have never been finalised so quickly while still meeting high- quality standards.
