Using data from the National Survey of Families and Households, this study compared the level of involvement of nonresidential fathers as a hnction of marital status: divorced/single parent, separated, remanied, and never manied. MANCOVA analysis, with SES as the covariate, indicated that separated and divorced fathers communicated with and visited their children more often than did remarried or never married fathers. Also, separated and never married fathers evidenced higher levels of well-being than did remanied fathers. There also was a tendency for remanied and never manied fathers to perceive that they had less influence than divorced or separated fathers.
