RESOLUTION N0. 52'~ ~2
WHEREAS, divorce is a stressful time for both children and
parents; and
WHEREAS, recent research by Wallerstein and Alakeslee described
in Second Chances, shows that a large proportion of the children of
divorce enter into adulthood as worried, underachieving,
self-deprecating, and sometimes angry men and women; and
WHEREAS, children from single parent households are much more
likely to appear as law violators in juvenile court; and
WHEREAS, parents can prevent some of the difficulties that
divorce brings for their children if they receive basic information
about what to do and what not to do during the divorce process; and
WHEREAS, non-custodial parents can greatly contribute to the
well-being of their children if they stay involved as parents; and
WHEREAS, programs on Oahu and Maui now provide information to
parents ahout how to best help their children through the divorce
process; and
WHEREAS, these programs have been very well received by both
parents and children; and
WHEREAS, a similar program is needed for the Third Judicial
Circuit which will require all parents and children, aged six (6)
through eighteen (18), to go through a program as part of the
divorce process in the County of Hawaii.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OE THE COUNTY OF
