Previous research on adolescents' well-being has focused mainly on the differences between married and divorced families. Recently, interest has shifted towards the cumulative effects of the various family transitions experienced by children. To contribute to this literature, we investigate the relationship of maternal and paternal family trajectories following divorce with adolescents' well-being by analyzing two dyadic subsamples of the 'Divorce in Flanders' study: mothers-adolescents (n = 515) and fathers-adolescents (n = 365). Results from the sequence analyses and structural equation models show that adolescents' well-being was lower if their mothers were in less stable partnership situations, namely if they had never repartnered, were in a LAT (living apart together) relationship or had had several relationships since their divorce. For fathers, the opposite result was found: adolescents' well-being was lower when their fathers were in seemingly stable partnership situations, i.e. if they had remarried or begun living with a new partner since their divorce.
先前关于青少年福祉的研究主要集中在已婚和离婚家庭之间的差异上。最近，人们的兴趣转向了儿童经历的各种家庭转变的累积效应。为了为这一文献做出贡献，我们通过分析“弗拉芒的离婚”研究中的两个对偶子样本——母亲-青少年（n=515）和父亲-青少年（n=365），研究了父母离婚后的家庭轨迹与青少年福祉之间的关系。序列分析和结构方程模型的结果表明，如果母亲处于不太稳定的伴侣关系中，即如果她们从未再婚、处于 LAT（同居但不结婚）关系中或自离婚以来有过多次关系，那么青少年的幸福感就会降低。对于父亲来说，结果则相反：当父亲处于看似稳定的伴侣关系中时，即如果他们自离婚以来再婚或开始与新伴侣生活在一起，青少年的幸福感就会降低。
