Description du projet This research will look at how divorced women navigate the conflict that divorce brings to the relationships within their social networks : the church, family, friends, among others, in terms of moralities and their social status as well as investigate how their choices put their personal wealth (financial autonomy) at risk. I will use a blend of two qualitative methodologies, namely, the phenomenological and ethnographic approach where I will conduct in-depth interviews with the women as well as observe the participants in their churches, families, and social circles.
