  • Title: Divorced fathers: predictors of continued paternal involvement.
    Author: Tepp AV.
    Journal: Am J Psychiatry; 1983 Nov; 140(11):1465-9. PubMed ID: 6624993.
    Abstract:
    The author investigated factors associated with continued involvement 3 years after divorce of fathers who did not have custody of their children. Feeling competent in the role of father, degree of involvement in child rearing 1 year after divorce, and the ease with which they were able to see their children were associated with fathers' greater participation 3 years after divorce. There was no relationship between how often a divorced father saw his children and how involved he felt in child rearing. All fathers were struggling with a sense of confusion and difficulty about their status as parents.
