Paternal Residence and Parental Involvement with Early Adolescents: The Mediating Role of Parental Relationship Quality Working Paper, Maryland Population Research Center, University of Maryland, February 2008 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Maryland Population Research Center Keyword(s): CESD (Depression Scale); Child Self-Administered Supplement (CSAS); Child Support; Ethnic Differences; Fathers and Children; Fathers, Involvement; Fathers, Presence; Marital Satisfaction/Quality; Maternal Employment; Parent-Child Interaction; Parent-Child Relationship/Closeness; Racial Differences; Relationship Conflict Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper addresses the association of biological fathers' residence to their involvement and to mothers' involvement with their adolescent children, and the role of parental relationship quality in this association. It uses as its sample 2,161 adolescent children of young women from the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Children living with their biological fathers report greater father involvement than children whose fathers are nonresidential, but this relationship is fully mediated by the quality of the relationship between the two parents. In addition, biological fathers' nonresidence has a direct positive contextual effect on maternal involvement, but has a stronger indirect negative effect via parental relationship quality. Failing to get along with one's partner has direct associations with both father and mother involvement, as well as mediates the linkage between fathers' nonresidence and the involvement of both parents.

Parents living in separate residences comprise a major source of interfamilial exchange. A positive relationship and exchanges with a nonresidential father are believed to be important to child development. However, little is known about the extent to which nonresidential fathers are involved in children's daily lives beyond their provision of child support. In this study, a structural equation model was used to evaluate the association between maternal and paternal characteristics and relationship and three aspects of father involvement: paternal accessibility (father-child contact), father-child interaction (relationship quality), and father's responsibility (financial support). The results show that previous circumstances and current context, including years spent together, geographical distance between the child and father, and parents' age and marital status at birth are associated with father involvement. Additionally, amount of contact is linked to father-child relationship quality and to financial support but not to parent relationship quality.

This study examined how child support, frequency of contact with children, and the relationship between nonresidential parents influenced preteens' reports of the involvement of fathers and mothers in their life. Data are from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79) that has followed the children of NLSY mothers from birth into their twenties. Results showed that increases in child support and in contact with the child over time after separation are linked to a better coparental relationship when children are age 11 or 12. This better relationship between parents is, in turn, associated with greater involvement of both mothers and nonresidential fathers with their children.
