This paper presents the results of a study which interviewed 134 individuals who had been divorced after the introduction of‘no-fault’ divorce legislation in Canada. It examines the post-divorce circumstances of 50 custodial females and their families compared to the remaining 84 custodial and non-custodial individuals in the study. All of the persons in the study obtained their divorce through the Court of Queen's Bench in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada after January 1986 and before April 1989. Those included in the study had dependent children under eighteen years of age and owned a marital home at the time of legal separation. This paper specifically discusses post-divorce housing and neighbourhood satisfactions; income, assets and debts; financial and quality of life satisfactions; and the issue of custody, support and self-sufficiency. Of particular importance is the impact of the disposition of the marital home in determining the future standard of living of the single custodial females and their families
