Research in Brief - Parent-reported parenting arrangements after separation or divorce, 2017

This Research in Brief describes parenting arrangements among separated and divorced parents with children aged 18 and under. The report examines several interrelated aspects of post-separation parenting: where the children usually live, how often parents see and communicate with their children, who makes the major decisions for the children, and the degree of formality for any parenting arrangements. Throughout, the findings highlight how these arrangements might vary across regions and demographic characteristics, where available.
