“…This paper extends previous research by bringing into the analysis of attitudinal pluralization the DLF that follows divorce/separation, the ways of sharing and coordinating parenting time, activities, and responsibility across households (Marinho, 2017), and how they relate to cultural models of motherhood and fatherhood. Our aim is to examine and compare the attitudes of women and men, in different age groups, toward options for the child's physical custody after divorce/separation, considering their attitudes toward the DLF.…”

“…This shaped new conceptions of childhood in which children's well-being was associated with both parents' involvement (Lewis, 2006). Moreover, dual caregivers who separated adopted more flexible residence options, including joint physical custody, with the child living 33-50% of the time with each parent (Marinho, 2017).Attitudes toward DLF following parental separation have been little explored. Only in a small set of qualitative research, it is possible to find clues about the attitudinal aspects of the post-divorce family models.…”

Examine and compare the attitudes of women and men in different age groups toward types of children's residence after divorce/separation, considering their attitudes toward the division of labor in the family (DLF). Background: This study draws on a multidimensional approach to attitudinal change in DLF and in the division of parental involvement after divorce/separation. Empirically, it benefits from new measures on fatherhood and motherhood and population-based data. Method: The authors draw on the 2012 Portuguese ISSP module by focusing on three dimensions: types of children's residence; men's involvement in parenting and homemaking; and women's employment and primacy as caregivers. They examine the interplay between attitudinal, family, and sociodemographic variables through regression, multiple correspondence, and cluster analyzes. Results: The attitudes to DLF strongly shape the attitudes toward the type of children's residence, which contribute to polarization between preferences for sole residence and shared residence. Also, three attitudinal profiles-unilateral egalitarian familism, egalitarian familism, and mother-centered familism-revealed attitudinal hybridization through the complex combination

“…This may be particularly true for women who share physical custody of their children. Marinho (2017) surveyed 107 divorced or separated Portuguese parents and found that among the 40 mothers and fathers who shared physical custody of their children, both parents engaged in the same childrearing decision‐making and activities and viewed each other as equally competent and responsible as caregivers. Although this research has advanced our understanding of parenting in shared custody arrangements, qualitative research is needed to better understand the process of mothers' experiences parenting in shared custody situations (Marinho, 2017) and how sharing physical custody affects their identities.…”

Objective This qualitative study examined women's identities as mothers when sharing postdivorce physical custody of children. Background The increase in divorced parents sharing physical custody can create challenges, especially for women whose identity is manifested through the social position of mother. Although researchers have investigated children's outcomes in connection with shared physical custody, little is known regarding the effects of shared custody on women's identities as mothers. Method A secondary analysis was conducted using interviews from a grounded theory study of 20 divorced women with shared physical custody arrangements. Results Mothers resolved the cognitive dissonance they experienced upholding the competing values of being physically present for their child and supporting their child's relationship with their father by prioritizing the belief that their child should maintain relationships with both parents. The mothers found ways in which their part‐time parent role supported their mothering identity. They also experienced challenges and developed individual solutions to overcome the challenges. Conclusion The ideology of intensive mothering may be changing, particularly for women who undergo divorce or separation. Mothers' beliefs that their children should maintain relationships with both parents overrides their desire to always be physically present for their children and decreases the time women enact their role as mothers. Implications Practitioners are encouraged to guide mothers' adjustment to their custody arrangement and help them “redo” the ways they view their mother identity.

“…Face a estes dados, parece ser indubitável que a residência materna e o contacto paterno permanecem como regime padrão nas representações e práticas de casais e de atores judiciais. Porém, paralelamente, desde 1995, vários são os juízes e magistrados que têm atribuído ou homologado residências alternadas no âmbito da atribuição de responsabilidades parentais partilhadas (Marinho, 2011(Marinho, , 2017, e estas estão a ganhar terreno nas escolhas dos casais, o que é colocado pelos resultados apresentados neste artigo. Assim, também existem evidências de que algo está a mudar na divisão do tempo parental, sem substituir práticas e representações sociais antigas, é certo, mas relativizando as certezas que as moldavam e criando diversidade.…”

Assim, a alternância de residência poderá estar a disseminar-se de forma mais expressiva nos grupos sociais mais escolarizados, revelando que a participação na transformação dos modelos tradicionais de maternidade e de paternidade (Marinho, 2011(Marinho, , 2017Neyrand, 2009) é facilitada pela posse de recursos e competências sociais associados à escolaridade. A identificação com novos modelos culturais de paternidade (Marinho, 2011(Marinho, , 2017 também é vivida pelos pais não residentes, traduzindo-se nas experiências de privação e de conformidade, que tendem a estar associadas a posições sociais mais desprovidas de recursos escolares…”

O artigo examina as práticas e os significados subjetivos que dividem o tempo parental e como estes moldam papéis parentais, identidades e a relação com a criança quer nas experiências de mães e pais separados, quer na aplicação da Lei do Divórcio N.º 61/2008. Com base num inquérito online, revela-se que a lei é resistida e manteve o uso do género para alocar tempo parental no regime de residência e contacto. Neste, as mães residentes vivem a relação entre a gratificação afetiva e identitária e a sobrecarga parental. Ao invés, os pais não residentes lidam com a privação parental e a submissão à paternidade tradicional. No regime de residência alternada abraça-se a partilha parental e os desafios da concertação educativa, nem sempre aceites na aplicação da Lei.
