“…In this study we examined if a stronger, more cohesive coparenting relationship is associated with fewer negative educational outcomes and familial instability for children whose fathers are incarcerated. Few studies have examined the quality of the coparenting relationship between couples where one parent is incarcerated, however, the importance of the coparenting dyad relationship has been documented within all of them (Baker et al, 2010; Beckmeyer & Arditti, 2014; Loper et al, 2014; McLeod et al, 2019; McLeod & Tirmazi, 2017; Tadros & Ogden 2020). These studies demonstrate how relational dynamics and interactions between this dyad has broader impacts on other members of the family system.…”

“…Coparenting relationships take several forms, most often marriage, cohabitation, or dating, however, romantic involvement is not necessary (McLeod & Tirmazi, 2017). Incarcerated coparenting is the relationship in which an individual (biological, foster, or legal guardian) provides love, nurturance, and care while being involved with and/ or held by the justice system while negotiating roles, rules, responsibilities, and contributions with a partner parent (Tadros & Ogden, 2020).…”

Incarceration of a parent is associated with negative consequences for children, such as behavioral problems, the development of antisocial personality traits, and decreased educational attainment. Data from the Multi-site Family Study on Incarceration, Parenting, and Partnering was used to analyze four measures of the coparenting relationship in families in which the father is incarcerated and the mother is not, to examine if a higher quality, more cohesive coparenting relationship is associated with fewer adverse childhood experiences for the parents’ shared child. Findings suggest that children of parents who frequently argue about the child are more likely to have ever been suspended or expelled from school and are more likely to have ever had to live outside of the home with a relative, family friend, or foster parents. Clinical implications are discussed, and future directions call for research, practice, and training to improve outcomes for incarcerated coparents and their children.

“…Notably, incarceration also tends to weaken familial bonds between African American men and their families (McLeod & Tirmazi, 2017). Thus, the children of incarcerated African American men are at risk for weaker bonds with their fathers, which the current study has demonstrated is a risk factor for NMUPO.…”

Background: Recent studies have demonstrated that nonmedical use of prescription opioids (NMUPO) is a national phenomenon affecting a multitude of subpopulations, including incarcerated African American men. However, there has been little investigation of the correlates of NMUPO among this population. Objective: Grounded in primary socialization theory, the current study aimed to examine the association between family bonds, family history of prescription drug misuse, and mental health symptoms on NMUPO among African American incarcerated men. Method: A step-wise logistic regression was conducted to determine whether family and mental health factors affected the likelihood of lifetime NMUPO. Results: Prescription drug misuse among immediate family members (p < .001) and lifetime experience of serious anxiety (p = .003) were significantly associated with an increased likelihood of NMUPO. Having a close personal relationship with one’s father was significantly associated with a decreased likelihood of NMUPO (p = .034). Conclusions/Importance: Risk and protective factors are identified that can be incorporated into interventions aimed at reducing or preventing NMUPO among African American men. Directions for future research on NMUPO among African American incarcerated men are discussed.

“…For instance, multiple partner fertility (MPF) is associated with partnership instability, residential instability, work instability, and material hardship among nonresident fathers (Petren, 2017). Fathers experiencing MPF are less accessible and less engaged with their children (McLeod & Tirmazi, 2017).…”
