Abstract

The present investigation examined the impact of custody arrangements on levels of parent-child involvement following divorce drawing upon data from the National Survey of Families and Households. Analyses using 186 custodial mothers and 31 custodial fathers indicated that differences in the number of days of custody that parents were awarded were not related to levels of parent-child involvement. In addition, both mothers and fathers were found to be equally involved with their sons and daughters following divorce. Possible explanations for these findings as well as policy and clinical implications are discussed.
