Social work with families at different stages of divorce

The study reveals the specific features of social work with families at different stages of divorce. In modern Russia, this is pivotal due to the high divorce rate and at the same time the low degree of implementation of a differentiated approach when providing social assistance to families in the pre-divorce situation, during the divorce procedures and post-divorce period. The research describes the aspects of the social concerns of families at each stage of divorce as well as defines the corresponding tasks, the scope and technology of social work. The author concludes that it is important to consider the peculiar lifestyle of a family when defining targets in this regard, devising assistance programs, selecting and using technologies, forms and methods of support to minimize the negative consequences of divorce.
