How will the instability and diversity of family forms today impact the nature of people’s close social relationships in the future when they are older? In this article I examine how the social participation of older adults is impacted by their different partnership histories. I am particularly interested in whether there are any differences in the social participation (activities involving contact with family, friends, acquaintances, children, grandchildren) of people who experienced divorce in life (I use a decomposition of the divorce rate to distinguish between those who had this experience when they were relatively young, middle-aged, or older). The data source for this analysis is the panel survey ‘Dynamics of Change in Czech Society’ and especially one unique component of the survey, which are the diaries on how people spend their time. Out of the total sample of respondents who maintained daily diary entries, I analyse the responses of those over the age of 60. The hypotheses that a lower level of social participation would be observed among people who had experienced divorced and that divorcing later in life would have a stronger negative effect on social participation are not confirmed by the data. The level of social participation measured using time-use diaries is found to be comparable across different partnership histories and irrespective of when in life a person gets divorced. In the conclusion of the article, I discuss these findings in a criticism of the overly negative paradigm that governs research on divorce in the social sciences.

Konstytucja RP opisuje małżeństwo jako instytucję będącą przedmiotem pieczy ustawodawcy wskazując także na trwałość związku, a jednak to właśnie ta cecha okazuje się być najczęściej rozbijana. Dotyczy to całej Polski, ale w sposób szczególny rozpad małżeństw dotyka województwo lubuskie. Były mąż i była żona funkcjonują gorzej nie tylko w życiu prywatnym, ale na wszystkich jego płaszczyznach, także zawodowej. Uwzględniając więc współczesne przeobrażenia w omawianym zakresie, szczególnie na terenie województwa lubuskiego, można domyślać się, że pozostawienie kwestii rozwodów wyłącznie prywatnym ocenom ich uczestników, skazuje dotknięte rozpadem związków małżeńskich społeczeństwo na kryzys, którego konsekwencje osłabią nie tylko rozbitą rodzinę

The Constitution of the Republic of Poland describes marriage as an institution which is the subject of a custody of the legislator, indicating at the same time the durability of a relationship, a feature which most often breaks down. This phenomenon affects the whole of Poland, but the dissolution of a marriage affects Lubuskie voivodeship in a peculiar way. A former husband or a former wife function worse not only in their private lives but also in all their professional areas. Taking into account contemporary transformations in the discussed area (especially in the Lubuskie voivodeship), it is easy to guess that by leaving the issue of divorce exclusively to the private assessment of their participants, one condemns the divorce prone society to a crisis, which will result in weakening not only a broken family.
