Sharing roles, sharing custody? Couples’ characteristics and children's living arrangements at separation

Abstract: This article examines children's living arrangements when parents separate, during a period of rapid increase in shared physical custody in the 1990s. With prospective data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (N= 758 families) and a sample of families experiencing parental separation between successive survey cycles, we use multinomial logistic regression techniques to explore how characteristics of parents in intact families (mother's employment, income, and so on) influence physical c… Show more

“…Using data on divorces coming to court in the US state Wisconsin between 1986 and 1992, Cancian and Mayer (1998) found that, compared with mother sole custody, the probability of shared physical custody rose with the family's total income and home ownership. Juby, Le Bourdais and Marcil-Gratton (2005) arrived at a similar conclusion based on a Canadian survey of custody arrangements put in place at separation, and Smyth, Qu and Weston (2004) reported that in Australia sharedresidence mothers tended to have a higher personal income than other women. For Norway, the picture may be more complicated.…”

“…The definition used obviously affects the prevalence of reported shared residence, with higher proportions found with a broad rather than a narrow definition (Masardo 2009). Another reason why it is difficult to make comparisons across studies is that some researchers look at the custody arrangements put in place at the time of separation (for instance, Cancian and Mayer 1998;Juby, Le Bourdais and Marcil-Gratton 2005), while others focus on the practices at a later stage (for instance, Smyth, Qu and Weston 2004;Skjørten, Barlindhaug and Lidén 2007). In addition, reports from mothers and fathers on the children's living arrangements may disagree.…”
