이혼 후 자녀와 비양육부모의 면접교섭에 양육부모의 동기 요인이 미치는 영향

Abstract

This study examined whether child support payments, perceived compensation, cost of child rearing, and perceived potential support from former spouse, which are all factors related to custodial parent’s motivation to allow visitation, affect contact between children and non-custodial parents. The types of contact were divided into regular contact, irregular contact, and no contact. A comparison between single-father and single-mother families was conducted to see if motivation factors of custodial parents were different by gender of parents. Using the Living Status of Korean Single-Parent Families Survey, this study analyzed 1,913 divorced custodial parents through multi-nominal logit analysis. The motivation factors that influence regular contact were different by gender of parents. In single-mother families, child support payment was a significant motivation factor, while in single-father families, perceived potential support from former spouse was significant. These results suggest that an intervention strategy to increase visitations takes into account custodial parent’s motivation and gender difference.
