Abstract
AbstractThe effects of legal custody arrangement and quality of the co‐parental relationship on the adjustment of adolescents in remarried families was examined. Joint custody was associated with better relationships with step‐parents and more family cohesion. Girls in sole custody families and boys in joint custody families reported high anxiety. Girls in sole custody families reported the remarriage to have a negative effect on their relationships with their custodial biological parents. Hostility in the co‐parental relationship was associated with more loyalty conflicts and more increase in psychosomatic and psychosocial problems around the time of the remarriage.
