| Summary: | 碩士 === 輔仁大學 === 兒童與家庭學系碩士班 === 95 === This research focuses on the study of life adjustments in the context of divorce by centering on foreign spouses in Taiwan and marital viewpoints of four Southeast Asia Immigrant divorced spouses. The researcher adapts semi-structural interview techniques to deal with a great deal of qualitative data, and aims to find how the divorced are living and adjusting. As a result of the in-depth interviews conducted, the researcher discovered the following.
Foreign spouses offer various reasons for divorce. In two cases an ex-husband no longer wished to maintain the marital relationship, and the marriage could not succeed. Two other respondents cited ex-husband's weak foundations as a cause of marriage failure. The couples did not want to work together to maintain the marital relationship. Without expectations of a happy marriage, they requested divorce.
How do foreign spouses adapt to life after a divorce situation, and mood adjustment: How do the foreign spouses experience their feelings about divorce, and problem of adjustment? They are still depressed and self-critical, and excoriate negative emotions, such as the insecurely of the economic base. They are also disappointment because foreign women lack experience and seek low-wage job-child relationships. Because of the lack of public support most give up custody of their children, divorce, and live together. They do not have to re-establish relations, to support the system because the original foreign spouses at home failed to provide a variety of post-divorce demands, coupled with a loss as to how they seek assistance from the social welfare system so that foreign spouses after a divorce find themselves adapting to life in Taiwan.
Finally, based on the analysis results, recommendations have been proposed by those who are concerned about this issue. This study also serves as reference for social groups and governmental institutions.
