Determinants of Father-Child Contact after Separation in Germany}, series = {Journal of Marriage and Family}, journal = {Journal of Marriage and Family}, doi = {10.1111/jomf.12504}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:b1570-opus4-25407}, pages = {1 -- 13}, abstract = {Objective: This paper 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 US, the UK, and Canada. For continental Europe, there has been far less research on this topic. This paper 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 (2009/10) to wave 8 (2015/16) 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 non-resident fathers' probability of having frequent contact versus having little or no contact with their first-born children. Results: Whether a non-resident father shared legal custody with the mother or not was a decisive factor in whether he had regular contact with his minor child, particularly if he was not living with the mother of the child at the time of delivery. There were strong interaction effects between having joint legal custody and the time since the parental separation. Joint legal custody did not have an immediate impact on father-child contact around the time of separation, but as time elapsed, men without joint legal custody were more likely to lose contact with their children than men with joint legal custody. Conclusion: Joint legal custody may provide an institutional arrangement for separated parents to exercise their responsibility for the well-being of their children and thus be conducive to regular father-child contact.}, language = {en} } @article{KreyenfeldGeislerTrappe, author = {Kreyenfeld, Michaela and Geisler, Esther and Trappe, Heike}, title = {Erwerbsbeteiligung von M{\"u}ttern und V{\"a}tern in Ost- und Westdeutschland : Strukturstarre oder Trendwende}, series = {Archiv f{\"u}r Wissenschaft und Praxis der sozialen Arbeit}, volume = {2}, journal = {Archiv f{\"u}r Wissenschaft und Praxis der sozialen Arbeit}, issn = {0340 - 3564}, pages = {4 -- 15}, language = {de} } @article{KonietzkaFeldhausKreyenfeldetal., author = {Konietzka, Dirk and Feldhaus, Michael and Kreyenfeld, Michaela and Trappe, Heike}, title = {Family and intimate relationships}, series = {Soziologische Revue}, volume = {Special Issue}, journal = {Soziologische Revue}, editor = {Hollstein, Betina and Greshoff, Rainer and Schimank, Uwe and Weiß, Anja}, doi = {10.1515/9783110627275-008}, pages = {99 -- 116}, abstract = {This article provides an overview on research on intimate relationships and the family in Germany since the turn of the millennium. It is argued that "German family sociology" has undergone major changes in various ways. In theoretical terms, micro-theoretical approaches have largely replaced former macro-sociological debates on de-institutionalization and pluralization of the family. In empirical research, the application of a life course perspective and the use of longitudinal data have become more and more established. In substantial terms, researchers have pursued integrative research perspectives that link family dynamics to other life domains. Not least, publication strategies shifted in favor of English language and international journals. In sum, these developments have fundamentally changed the German researchlandscape on intimate relationships and the family.}, language = {en} }
