“…Some French research (Régnier-Loilier, 2013) observes that the probability of losing contact with the father is 1 percent when the judge ordered joint physical custody at least in the first 6 months of judicial trial, but it increased up to 21 percent if the judge ordered the traditional arrangement. Yet, in the same study, the researcher observes that the distance between the two parental homes (a parameter on which the judiciary system can have a huge influence allowing the emigration of one parent with the child) has a significant influence.…”

This broad review elaborates on the most up-to-date knowledge on biochemical and psychobiological aspects of parental loss and other childhood adversities during divorce involving minor children. So far, divorce involving minor children was unfortunately considered by authorities only as a purely juridical problem, and this approach has often allowed a completely different approach according to the Courts. Now, scientific research, also making use of animal models, is demonstrating the biological basis of the problem and the indisputable consequences on the well-being and health of children. The innovative conclusion of this review is that this argument (because of its frequency and gravity) is primarily a question of public health and that it is necessary to further harmonize practices in this area.

“…Across countries and in both samples, there are on average five monthly father-child contacts (with a standard deviation of almost 8). This does not suggest that there is less contact with older children, which has been indicated by prior studies [ 3 , 41 , 72 ].…”

“…This is important as due to competing roles and time constrains [ 10 ] separated fathers may ‘swap families’ [ 80 , 85 ] and shift their investments towards their new union [ 4 , 9 , 79 , 86 ]; particularly if new biological children arise from that union [ 9 , 85 , 87 ]. We also include a measure indicating the number of years since the separation from the child’s mother as a proxy for the time the father no longer cohabits with the child, which has been shown to relate to a decrease in contact [ 3 , 8 , 9 , 36 ]. We control for child age and gender (0 = boy; 1 = girl).…”

“…Fathers’ involvement and new fatherhood behaviors are challenged when parents separate and most children continue living with their mothers [ 3 , 6 , 68 ]. However, a thorough understanding of the extent to which new fatherhood behaviors relate to separated families is lacking.…”

“…Previous studies have considered child age as an in important predictor of nonresident father-child contact [ 8 ]; however, they yield mixed findings. Some studies find that nonresident father-child contact tends to decrease with child age [ 3 , 41 , 72 ], while others suggest that fathers have more contact with older children as they are more at ease in interacting with older than with younger children [ 75 ]. To shed more light on whether the frequency of contact differs between older and younger children and to assess the role of individual and societal gender role attitudes as well as societal father practices for different age ranges, below we distinguish children (age 0–13) and adolescents (age 14–18).…”

Gender role attitudes and father practices as predictors of nonresident father-child contact

Due to an increasing number of parental union dissolutions, a growing number of fathers does not cohabit with their biological children. This article analyses individual and societal gender role attitudes as well as societal father practices as determinants of nonresident father-child contact. Previous research shows that individual-level factors influence the relationship between nonresident fathers and their children. Research on resident fathers indicates that individual attitudes and societal contexts affect father-child involvement. Little is known on the relationship between individual gender role attitudes as well as societal gender role attitudes and father practices and nonresident fathers’ involvement in their children’s lives. To shed more light thereon, we examine data from eleven Eastern and Western European countries from the first wave of the Gender and Generations Survey. We analyze two samples: One consisting of nonresident fathers of children aged 0 to 13 and one of fathers of adolescents aged 14 to 17. Logistic regression models assess if individual and societal gender role attitudes as well as societal father practices predict the probability of monthly father-child contact. Contact between nonresident fathers is affected by different factors depending on whether the focus is on children or adolescents. Societal gender role attitudes and societal father practices predict the probability of monthly contact between fathers and their children; individual gender role attitudes are less important. Individual gender role attitudes, on the other hand, predict the probability of monthly contact between nonresident fathers and their adolescent children; societal factors matter less for this age group.

Objective: This article examines the determinants of father-child contact in Germany after divorce and separation, with a special emphasis on the role of legal child support. Background: The contact separated fathers have with their children is a policy-relevant issue that has been intensively addressed in previous research for the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. For continental Europe, there has been far less research on this topic. This article investigated how fathers' union status at childbirth, custody arrangements, and past and present partnership dynamics affect the level of contact they had with their first-born child from a prior union. Method: Data were used from Wave 2 (2009)(2010) to Wave 8 (2015Wave 8 ( -2016 of the German Family Panel pairfam (www.pairfam .de). With a final sample size of 285 fathers, population average logistic models were estimated that examined nonresident fathers' probability
