The Ethics of Bystanders to Divorce

Sidney Callahan, America Magazine, 8/3/2012

A publication of the Institute for American Values by M. Christian Green discusses "The Ethics of Bystanders to Divorce." (Propositions 8, July 2012 Americanvalues.org) She claims that divorce affects bystanders, as well as the divorcing couple and children involved. The witnesses of marital breakups and their social networks can be affected. Bystanders who are actually "stakeholders" should not remain "apathetic" or "indifferent."
