“…In 2008 in Québec, the divorce index was close to 50% (Institut de la statistique du Québec (ISQ), 2011), a figure that is comparable to that of other Western countries, amongst them the United States (National Center for Health Statistics, 2017). And while the divorce rate has become more stable, the structure of post-separation families is becoming increasingly diversified (Saint-Jacques, Robitaille, St-Amand, & Levesque, 2016). At the socio-legal level, one of the major issues concerns the continuity of the child’s relationship with both parents.…”

“…In general, fathers are increasingly involved with their children after separation, be it in North America or Europe (Amato, Meyers, & Emery, 2009; Westphal, Poortman, & Van der Lippe, 2014). And even though maternal custody remains the most common custodial arrangement, an increase in the number of families in joint physical custody has been observed in Québec and elsewhere in the world (Pelletier, 2016; Saint-Jacques et al, 2016).…”

A latent class growth curve analysis was conducted to model post-separation, paternal involvement trajectories over an 8-year period from the time of separation. Our sample was composed of 245 separated mothers whose data was drawn from a representative survey of Québec children. Four classes of distinct trajectories were identified: shared-time, near-shared-time, moderate-stable, and low-decreasing. The majority of fathers maintained a consistently high level of contact with their children, and the frequency of visits at the time of separation seemed to determine future father–child contact. Several factors predicted contact trajectories, including socioeconomic status, a new partner in the mother’s life, and the quality of the inter-parental relationship.

“…For some children, their parents’ separation is so difficult that custody exchanges and even contact with a parent have to be supervised. In a study conducted in Québec (Canada) with a representative sample of parents who were separated on average for a period of 23.3 ( N = 1,703), 2.5% of the respondents indicated having used supervised access services in the context of their parental separation (Saint-Jacques et al, 2018). While the data needed to evaluate how many families have received these services is not available, we know that they are relatively numerous because of the large number of supervised access services in the United States (Crook & Oehme, 2007), Canada (Kelly, 2011; Saini, Van Wert, & Gofman, 2012; Saint-Jacques, Fortin, St-Amand, Drapeau, & Gagné, 2016), and Australia (Sheehan et al, 2007).…”

Supervised access services (SAS) allow parents who represent a risk for their children or for the other parent to maintain contact with or exchange custody of their children in the presence of a third person. Even though these services have been designed in the children’s best interest, few studies have, until now, documented the evolution in the parents’ and children’s adjustment or in the quality of the relationships between the family members throughout the services. To better understand this evolution, a longitudinal study comprising 3 time measures was conducted with 96 parents who were beginning the services. Although the results revealed that the children’s evolution was stable all throughout the service trajectory, further analyses showed that the school-age children, and more particularly the boys, experienced a high level of difficulty. Furthermore, the study showed that the parents’ evaluation of their children’s adjustment differed according to whether or not the parent had to see the child in a supervised context. Finally, we observed that the evolution of the children’s adjustment was correlated with the parents’ psychological distress, the quality of the parent–child relationship, and conflict between the parents, all processes that did not have a tendency to improve throughout the service trajectory.

“…Au Québec, les familles recomposées forment 9,5 % des familles et sont, le plus souvent, réorganisées autour de la mère (79,4 %; Institut de la statistique du Québec, 1998, 2004). Ce phénomène, loin d'être exclusif au Québec, est observé dans de nombreux pays occidentaux (Saint-Jacques, Poulin, Robitaille & Poulin, 2004). Depuis une quinzaine d'années, de nombreuses études, surtout américaines, ont été menées sur cette question et parmi celles-ci, les impacts de la recomposition familiale sur le développement des jeunes ainsi que les relations et les processus qui s'actualisent dans ces familles, figurent parmi les thèmes les plus traités.…”

Plusieurs e ´tudes sont venues de ´montrer l'importance de la qualite ´de la relation beau-pe `re enfant dans l'adaptation des jeunes de familles recompose ´es. En effet, lorsqu'il existe une bonne relation affective entre eux, il y a moins de risque que l'enfant de ´veloppe des proble `mes. Or, si l'on conc ¸oit bien l'impact de la qualite ´de cette relation, il subsiste encore beaucoup d'incertitudes sur la manie `re optimale d'exercer ce ro ˆle. Cet article examine la contribution du style parental adopte ´par le beau-pe `re aux proble `mes de comportement exte ´riorise ´s et inte ´riorise ´s de jeunes de familles recompose ´es. Les donne ´es ont e ´te ćollecte ´es aupre `s de 104 adolescents (63,5 % de filles; 36,5 % de garc ¸ons) qui ont comple ´te ´, en entrevue, le Youth Self-Report (Achenbach, 1991), le Parental Authority Questionnaire (Buri, 1991) et le Child Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (Rohner, 1984). Les re ´sultats montrent qu'une majorite ´de jeunes perc ¸oivent leur beau-pe `re comme une personne implique ´e aupre `s d'eux : plus du tiers de l'e ´chantillon conside `re que leur beau-pe `re est autoritaire, suivi de pre `s par un autre tiers qui le perc ¸oit comme e ´tant de ´mocratique. Le niveau d'adaptation des jeunes est associe ´au style parental du beau-pe `re. Les jeunes qui perc ¸oivent leur beau-pe `re comme e ´tant de ´mocratique ou chaleureux profitent particulie `rement de cette relation.Mots-cle ´s : recomposition familiale, style parental, beaux-pe `res, proble `mes de comportement, adolescent Marie-Christine Saint-Jacques, E ´cole de service social, Universite ´Laval, Canada; Rachel Le ´pine, Centre de recherche sur les jeunes et les familles a `risque, Universite ´Laval, Canada.Cette e ´tude a e ´te ´re ´alise ´e gra ˆce a `une subvention du Fonds que ´be ´cois de recherche sur la socie ´te ´et la culture (no 81634).Toute correspondance doit e ˆtre adresse ´e a `Marie-Christine Saint-
