“…Another shortcoming of our investigation is that we examined the topic from the male perspective only. A dyadic approach that factored in the view of the mother and the child would certainly generate different results (Kitterød & Lyngstad, 2014). This study also had to leave further questions unanswered.…”

Objective: This article 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 United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. For continental Europe, there has been far less research on this topic. This article 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)(2010) to Wave 8 (2015Wave 8 ( -2016 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 nonresident fathers' probability

“…Differential reporting by mothers and fathers is a common pattern in studies of parents living apart in Norway and internationally (Kitterød & Lyngstad, ). Further, consistent with this pattern, separated mothers appeared to report slightly lower levels of shared residence than fathers.…”

Over the last decade there has been a dramatic increase in shared residence for children among parents living apart in Norway, and a related shift away from mother sole custody. Currently, three in ten children in separated families have shared residence, compared to less than 10 percent at the beginning of the century. This likely reflects several factors, including more symmetrical parenting practices in intact families in Norway, policy measures that promote a more equal division of practical care and economic provision among separated parents, and pressure from fathers groups. Shared residence is most widespread among those from high socioeconomic backgrounds. Parents living apart with shared residence generally report better cooperation and less conflict than sole custody parents; typically agree on shared residence without the use of mediation or the involvement of the court; and report gender-equal caring practices prior to separation. There are no indications in Norway that shared residence is a less stable residential arrangement than mother or father sole custody -but the data are somewhat limited. Key points for the Family Court Community: In the 2000s there has been a dramatic increase in shared residence for children among parents living apart in Norway, and a related shift away from mother sole custody. Shared residence after separation has typically been exercised by parents with higher socioeconomic resources who report low levels of inter-parent conflict. Recently, however, shared residence has become more widespread in most groups of Norwegian parents. In 2012, around one in four shared residence parents in Norway reported a moderate or high level of inter-parent conflict. Shared residence appears to be a relatively stable post-separation parenting arrangement in Norway, and 80% of mothers and 86% of fathers with shared residence reported no change in their parenting arrangement after separation. More equal parenting roles among separated parents is an important political ambition for the current Norwegian Government.

“…En effet, elles n'enregistrent que la perspective de ce dernier, pas celle de son ex-conjoint ni de ses enfants. Or, quelques études tendent à démontrer que les différents acteurs impliqués dans un même arrangement ne le décrivent pas tous de la même manière (Kitterød et Lyngstad, 2014 ;Waller et Jones, 2014). Et comme la « vraie » valeur reste inconnue, il est difficile de savoir quel acteur fournit la description la plus authentique.…”

“…La plus importante distinction entre les sources est toutefois que la déclaration est faite par le jeune lui-même dans les enquêtes de santé et par la « personne qui connaît le mieux l'enfant » (généralement la mère) dans l'ÉLDEQ et l'ELNEJ. On sait déjà assez bien que les pères déclarent passer plus de nuits et de jours avec leurs enfants que ne le reconnaissent leurs ex-conjointes (Kitterød et Lyngstad, 2014 ;Waller et Jones, 2014). Ce que la figure 3 laisse supposer, c'est que les jeunes aussi semblent considérer plus souvent qu'ils habitent « la moitié du temps avec [leur] père, l'autre moitié du temps avec [leur] mère » que le font les mères.…”

Combien d’enfants en double résidence ou en garde partagée ? Sources et mesures dans les contextes québécois et canadien

À la base de ce texte se trouve une question très simple : combien d’enfants partagent leur temps de façon plus ou moins égale entre la résidence de leur mère et celle de leur père à la suite de la séparation de ceux-ci ? Après une description des nombreux enjeux liés à la mesure des arrangements résidentiels des enfants, une analyse critique des différentes sources de données disponibles aux niveaux québécois et canadien permet de constater le caractère fragmentaire de nos connaissances actuelles sur le sujet. Au final, la réponse apportée reste équivoque. D’un point de vue relatif, on peut affirmer sans trop de risques de se tromper que le nombre d’enfants en double résidence a augmenté rapidement au cours des deux dernières décennies, et davantage au Québec que dans le reste du Canada. Concernant les niveaux absolus, cependant, beaucoup d’incertitude demeure puisque les chiffres produits par les diverses sources concordent rarement. L’intégration de données d’enquête et de données administratives sera probablement nécessaire afin d’apporter une réponse plus solide.
