 Adjustment of children from separated families: Diversity of internalizing and externalizing problem trajectories 
Scientific literature suggests that there are long-term variations in the duration and extent of difficulties exhibited by children of separated parents. The goal of the present study is to describe the various trajectories of behavioral problems of 452 children followed up to ten years post-separation. Latent class analyses distinguish four trajectories of internalizing problems and three trajectories of externalizing problems. Comparative analyses indicate that the age and gender of the child, as well as the socioeconomic status of the family at the time of separation, distinguish children according to the trajectory taken. The results confirm the relevance of considering the diversity of adaptation trajectories in order to target interventions better suited to the characteristics of the child and his family.
