This study examines the prevalence of divorce-related stressors and their impact on the well-being of 237 women in Hong Kong who are separated. By means of a cross-sectional study, it was found that most separated women had difficulty engaging in divorce litigation, anticipated housing problems and experienced declines in income. Regression analysis shows that litigation and housing problems are the strongest predictors among the various stressors of mental health problems.
