Economic wellbeing of divorced mothers is an issue of longstanding policy concern. The loss of an earner and caregiver in the aftermath of divorce leads to steep declines in family income and personal wealth of mothers which are hard to recover from and increase their risk of facing poverty. At the same time, mothers' post-divorce economic wellbeing depends on factors like their pre-divorce employment and earnings, the amount of time a child spends with her after divorce, and the social safety net policy landscape. In this dissertation, I add to the research on economic wellbeing of divorced women by addressing several gaps in the literature pertaining to their pre-divorce economic circumstances, how the amount of time children spend with mothers after their divorce relates to their employment and their experience of work-family conflict, and whether a partnership dissolution leads to a change in the way mothers spend their time with children versus in employment and housework. I use a variety of state administrative and survey data from Wisconsin, as well as nationally representative data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics in this dissertation and apply descriptive and longitudinal regression techniques to answer my research questions.My dissertation findings broadly suggest that at least in Wisconsin, mothers remain more vulnerable than fathers going into divorce, but there is heterogeneity in post-divorce economic outcomes for mothers by the amount of time a child lives with the mother. Mothers who have their children part-time versus full-time feel lower time pressures, and the growth in their earnings in the post-divorce period is larger than that of mothers who have their children full-time. Nationally, separated mothers' time with children remain largely preserved, and they balance their post-separation increase in employment hours through reductions in housework instead, although it takes a few years for these mothers to reach an equilibrium with respect to time with children. These findings provide new insight to inform policy on child placement and child support arrangements, and underscore the need for family-friendly workplace policies in the United States.
