Differences between fathers with joint custody and noncustodial fathers.

Abstract: Self-reported data from 212 divorced fathers was used to investigate differences between those with joint custody and those without custody of their children. Results indicated that those with joint custody saw their children more frequently, showed greater satisfaction with their custody arrangement, and had more education than did fathers without custody. Implications for paternal involvement and child support payments are discussed.

“…For example, after couples separated and before a custodial decision was made, fathers who were later awarded joint legal custody spent more overnights with their children (Albiston et al, 1990). This theoretical reasoning may explain the empirical finding that joint legal custody is more common among parents who have been married (and thus have been living with their children) for a long time (Arditti, 1992;Huang et al, 2003;Koel et al, 1988;Phear et al, 1983). However, the evidence is mixed.…”

“…In contrast, the prevalence of father custody remained stagnant in one study that uses regional data (Maccoby et al, 1988); this is similar to the national proportion of cases with father sole custody, around 12% between the 1980s and 1990s (Huang et al, 2003 particularly the nonresident parent's education, represent the human capital that could allow better decision making for the child. Therefore, empirical studies generally support the positive associations between income, education or age, and joint legal custody, either in univariate comparisons or multivariate regressions (Arditti, 1992;Huang et al, 2003;Koel et al, 1988;Phear, Beck, Hauser, Clark, & Whitney, 1983;Seltzer, 1990Seltzer, , 1991Seltzer, , 1998. Given the same family income, joint legal custody is theoretically affected by the parent's relative income (measured by each parent's income divided by the couple's total income).…”

“…Viele Autoren beschreiben jedoch das Gegenteil und berichten über eine steigende Bereitschat der Väter, nach der Trennung der Eltern den Kontakt zu ihren Kindern weiter zu pfl egen (Amato u. Gilbreth, 1999;Emery, 1988). Als mögliche Gründe werden die Institutionalisierung von Unterhaltszahlungen in den USA (Seltzer, 1991) und die Einführung des gemeinsamen Sorgerechts (Arditti, 1992;Seltzer, 1991) gesehen. Die Frage nach der Rolle beider Eltern nach einer Scheidung hat an Brisanz gewonnen.…”

“…Die unterschiedliche rechtliche Ausgangslage der einzelnen Staaten erschwert Quervergleiche. Positiv kann sich der intensivere Kontakt zum Vater und die ot damit verbundene bessere fi nanzielle Unterstützung auswirken (Arditti, 1992;Arditti u. Keith, 1993;Greif, 1980). Bei persistierenden Konfl ikten zwischen den Eltern treten eher negative Folgewirkungen auf (Davies u. Cummings, 1994) …”

“…Väter teilen diese Einschätzung, abgesehen von der kognitiv-sozialen Förderung, nur bedingt. Diese Befunde bestätigen die Ergebnisse, wonach ein gemeinsames Sorgerecht sich positiv auf die kognitiv-soziale Förderung (Della Casa et al, 2010), die verfügbare Zeit (Arditti, 1992) und das Engagement generell (Pelikan, 2002;Proksch, 2003) auswirken, wiederum nur aus der Sicht der Mütter. Damit würden unsere Ergebnisse eher in die Richtung von Swiss und Bourdais (2009) weisen, wonach die väterliche Beteiligung nicht abhängig vom Sorgerecht ist und sich Väter nicht emotional lösen (England u. Folbre, 2002 (Allen u. Daly, 2002;Kelly, 2000), zeigen sich hier möglicherweise besonders nachteilige Konsequenzen für die Kinder bei einer schlechten elterlichen Kooperation.…”
