Abstract = {Coparenting conflict and triangulation after separation or divorce are
   associated with poorer child adjustment when parenting gatekeeping and
   conflict occur. Fewer studies reported psychosocial adjustment of
   children under three. We explored the effects of authoritarian and
   permissive parenting styles and negative coparenting on child adjustment
   in a purpose sample of 207 Portuguese newly separated/divorced parents
   (50.2\% mothers/49.8\% fathers) with sole or joint (49.8\%/50.2\%)
   physical custody processes ongoing in court. Parents filled out the
   Parenting Styles Questionnaire-Parents' report, the Coparenting
   Questionnaire, and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire.
   Parenting and coparenting moderations path analysis to predict child
   adjustment were tested for two groups (2/3-year-old
   child/>3-year-old-child) and showed a good fit, followed by multigroup
   path analysis with similarities. Findings suggest harsh parenting and
   interparental conflict and triangulation as predictors for poor early
   child adjustment. The ongoing custody process could contribute to
   increased interparental conflict. The families' unique functioning,
   parenting, and conflict should be considered in young children custody
   decisions made in a particularly stressful period when the parental
   responsibilities' process is still ongoing and conflict may increase to
   serve the best interest of the child and promote healthy development.
   Future directions and practical implications are discussed.},

   Model: The Shaping Role of Predivorce and Postdivorce Interparental
   Conflict},

Abstract = {Divorce has been conceptualized as a process. Research has extensively
   demonstrated that it is pre/postdivorce family environment factors that
   primarily account for the variability in children's adaptation over
   parental divorce process rather than the legal divorce per se. Amongst
   various factors, interparental conflict has been consistently identified
   as a prominent one. Surprisingly, a single source is still lacking that
   comprehensively synthesizes the extant findings. This review fills this
   gap by integrating the numerous findings across studies into a more
   coherent Divorce Process and Child Adaptation Trajectory Typology
   (DPCATT) Model to illustrate that pre/postdivorce interparental conflict
   plays crucial roles in shaping child adaptation trajectories across
   parental divorce process. This review also summarizes the mechanisms
   (e.g., child cognitive and emotional processes, coparenting,
   parent-child relations) via which pre/postdivorce interparental conflict
   determines these trajectories and the factors (e.g., child gender and
   age, child coping, grandparental support) that interact with
   pre/postdivorce interparental conflict to further complicate these
   trajectories. In addition, echoing the call of moving beyond the
   monolithic conceptualization of pre/postdivorce interparental conflict,
   we also review studies on the differential implications of different
   aspects (e.g., frequency versus intensity) and types (e.g., overt versus
   covert) of interparental conflict for child adjustment. Last,
   limitations of prior studies and avenues for future research are
   discussed. The proposed framework may serve as a common knowledge base
   for researchers to compare/interpret results, detect cutting edges of
   the fields, and design new studies. The specificity, complexity, nuance,
   and diversity inherent within our proposed model await to be more fully
   revealed.},

Abstract = {Most children continue to live with their mother after a divorce or
   separation, yet paternal involvement in post-separation families has
   increased substantially in many Western nations. This shift has
   contributed to a growing share and more diverse set of post-separation
   parents opting for shared physical custody (SPC), which typically means
   that children alternate between the parental residences for substantive
   amounts of time. Profiling the case of Germany, where no legal
   regulations facilitating SPC are implemented to date, we examine the
   prevalence of SPC families, sociodemographic correlates of SPC, and its
   associations with parental coparenting and child adjustment. Using
   representative survey data sampled in 2019 (N = 800 minors of 509
   separated parents), results revealed that only 6-8\% of children
   practiced SPC. SPC parents were more likely to hold tertiary levels of
   schooling and to report a better coparenting relationship with the other
   parent. There was no link between SPC and child adjustment, yet
   conflictual coparenting was linked to higher levels of hyperactivity
   among SPC children. We conclude that the social selection into SPC and
   linkages between conflictual coparenting and hyperactivity among SPC
   children likely stem from the higher costs and the constant level of
   communication between the ex-partners that SPC requires.},

Abstract = {This study is a randomized controlled trial of an asynchronous, fully
   web-based program for divorced and separated parents, the electronic New
   Beginnings Program (eNBP). This program is an adaptation of a group,
   in-person program for divorced parents, the New Beginnings Program
   (NBP), which has been shown in randomized trials to reduce a wide range
   of offspring problems and improve a wide range of competencies up to 15
   years after participation. The 10-module, 5-h program uses
   evidence-based, highly interactive strategies to teach skills designed
   to strengthen parenting after divorce and reduce interparental conflict.
   Participants were 131 parents (63\% mothers) and 102 adolescent
   offspring. Parents were randomly assigned to the eNBP or a wait-list
   control condition. Parents and their children completed pre- and
   post-tests. Analyses showed that at post-test, parents and children in
   the eNBP reported significantly higher parent-child relationship
   quality, more effective discipline, lower interparental conflict and
   lower child mental health problems than did those in the wait-list
   control condition. These are the strongest findings in the literature on
   the effects of web-based programs to reduce interparental conflict,
   strengthen positive parenting and reduce children's post-divorce mental
   health problems. Given that parental divorce has significant individual
   and societal costs, widespread implementation of this program could have
   significant public health implications.},

Abstract = {Joint physical custody (JPC), a parental care arrangement in which
   children live with each parent about equally after separation or
   divorce, is an increasingly common phenomenon in many countries. This is
   a major shift away from the standard of sole physical custody (SPC), in
   which children live primarily with one parent (usually their mother)
   after family dissolution. Although attention to JPC by social scientists
   is growing, and the effects of this arrangement on children's well-being
   are the subject of highly ideological debates, there is currently little
   empirical evidence with statistical power on JPC. Using data from Family
   Models in Germany (FAMOD), a survey of postseparation families conducted
   in 2019, we estimated four linear regression models for children aged
   2-14 in SPC and JPC families, with analytic samples of up to 1,161
   cases. We investigated the association between physical custody
   arrangements after separation or divorce and four dimensions of
   children's well-being: psychological, physical, social, and
   cognitive/educational. The bivariate results provided support for the
   hypothesis that children living in JPC families fare significantly
   better than children living in SPC families on all four dimensions of
   well-being. However, after controlling for a set of child, parent, and
   separation characteristics, as well as for the quality of family
   relationships, the differences between children from SPC and JPC
   families disappeared. Additional analyses revealed that the parent-child
   relationships fully mediated this association. In sum, the quality of
   family relationships accounted for the positive association between JPC
   and children's well-being in this study.},

Abstract = {This study investigated the effects of a highly interactive, online
   cognitive-behavioral youth coping program: Children of Divorce-Coping
   with Divorce (CoD-CoD; Boring et al., 2015) on children exposed to high
   levels of interparental conflict (IPC). A multiple-baseline experimental
   design (N = 9) evaluated within-subject intervention effects on change
   in daily positive and negative affect before, during, and after the
   intervention (nobservations = 462). Participants were youth ages 11-16
   who reported high exposure to IPC and whose parents had filed for
   divorce or parenting plan determinations in the prior year. A
   significant interaction effect indicated change in positive affect, but
   not negative affect, between the intervention and baseline phases.
   Positive affect linearly decreased during the baseline phase and
   flattened during the intervention phase. Results indicate that CoD-CoD
   was effective in interrupting a decline in youth-reported positive
   affect in a high-IPC sample, which may indicate a buffering effect
   against depression. Critical future directions include conducting
   large-scale randomized trials with children from high-IPC families to
   assess for whom the program is effective and assess long-term effects
   across a broad range of important outcomes.},

Abstract = {The detrimental effects of parental break-up on children's mental health
   are well-documented. However, research has also shown that children
   living in joint physical custody (JPC) arrangements often fare better
   than children living in sole physical custody (SPC) arrangements. Thus,
   the question arises: What are the differences between JPC and SPC that
   account for those results? Drawing on data from the Family Models in
   Germany (FAMOD) study conducted in 2019, structural equation models
   (SEM) were estimated to deduct the mediating role of coparenting support
   in children's mental health in 465 JPC and 652 SPC families with
   children aged 2-14. The findings suggest that the better mental health
   observed among children in JPC families than among children in SPC
   families was fully mediated by coparenting support. However, this held
   true only for internalizing and externalizing behavior, but not for
   prosocial behavior as no differences between JPC and SPC were found for
   this dimension. The findings affirm the importance of supportive
   coparenting for children's well-being after family dissolution in both
   SPC and JPC arrangements. After breaking up, parents should be supported
   in their parental engagement through coparenting counseling or
   psychoeducation classes.},

Title = {Preventing mental health problems in children after high conflict
   parental separation/divorce study: An optimization randomized controlled
   trial protocol},
Journal = {MENTAL HEALTH \& PREVENTION},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {32},
Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {Parental divorce is a childhood stressor that affects approximately 1.1
   million children in the U.S. annually. The children at greatest risk for
   deleterious mental health consequences are those exposed to high
   interparental conflict (IPC) following the separation/divorce. Research
   shows that children's emotional security and coping efficacy mediate the
   impact of IPC on their mental health. Interventions targeting their
   adaptive coping in response to IPC events may bolster their emotional
   security and coping efficacy. However, existing coping interventions
   have not been tested with children exposed to high
   post-separation/divorce IPC, nor has any study assessed the effects of
   individual intervention components on children's coping with IPC and
   their mental health. This intensive longitudinal intervention study
   examines the mechanisms through which coping intervention components
   impact children's responses to interactions in interparental
   relationships. A 23 3 factorial experiment will assess whether, and to
   what extent, three candidate intervention components demonstrate main
   and interactive effects on children's coping and mental health. Children
   aged 9-12 (target N =144) will be randomly assigned to one of eight
   combinations of three components with two levels each: (1) reappraisal
   (present vs. absent), (2) distraction (present vs. absent), (3)
   relaxation (present vs. absent). The primary outcomes are child- report
   emotional security and coping efficacy at one-month post-intervention.
   Secondary outcomes include internalizing and externalizing problems at
   the three-month follow-up. Based on data from this optimization phase
   RCT, intervention components will be selected to comprise a
   multi-component intervention and assessed for effectiveness in a
   subsequent evaluation phase RCT.},

   Relations with parental and child adjustment},
Journal = {CURRENT PSYCHOLOGY},

Abstract = {Divorce has important consequences for the family unit and is often
   experienced as stressful. Factors such as parental gender, time since
   divorce, and the age of the children contribute to considerable
   variability in how individuals adapt, under scoring the need to study
   adaptation through a profile-based approach. This study examines the
   diversity of post-divorce adaptation and its association with mental
   health symptoms in high-conflict families. A sample of 257 divorced
   parents using family visitation centers in Spain (mean age = 40.3, SD =
   6.91) completed measures assessing adaptation to divorce, as well as
   parental and child psychological symptoms. A person-centered latent
   profile analysis (LPA) identified three distinct adaptation profiles.
   Parents characterized by lower levels of coparenting and higher conflict
   exhibited greater psychological symptomatology. In contrast, children
   with parents demonstrating an overall adaptation to divorce showed the
   most favorable outcomes. These findings highlight the heterogeneity of
   the adaptation process following divorce. Conflict with the ex-partner
   and the willingness to engage in cooperative coparenting emerged as
   critical factors associated with family well-being.},

Title = {Triangulation and Child Adjustment After Parental Divorce: Underlying

Abstract = {Parental triangulation is a particular risk to healthy child adjustment
   after divorce. However, detailed knowledge is lacking on how
   triangulation predicts child adjustment, and whether some children are
   more vulnerable to triangulation's effects. Therefore, the present study
   used a sample of 135 children (M-age = 11.76) and 130 parents from 77
   recently divorced families to identify whether intrapersonal processes
   (loyalty conflicts, self-blame, and self-esteem) underlie the link
   between postdivorce triangulation and child adjustment over a period of
   2 years. We also explored whether these direct and indirect effects were
   dependent on children's environmental sensitivity and empathy. By means
   of path analysis in MPlus, the mediation analyses indicated that more
   triangulation was only indirectly associated with a relative increase in
   children's internalizing problems, via experiencing more loyalty
   conflicts and lower self-esteem. Loyalty conflicts also explained the
   link between triangulation and children's externalizing problems. Yet,
   there were no indirect effects via children's self-blame attributions.
   Second, moderation analyses revealed that the effect of triangulation
   was dependent on children's level of empathy, but not sensitivity.
   Children scoring high on empathy showed a stronger association between
   triangulation and child-reported adjustment problems, both directly and
   indirectly via loyalty conflicts and self-esteem. There were hardly any
   significant effects for parent-reported child adjustment. Overall, the
   present study calls for more awareness on the adversity of postdivorce
   triangulation for children, its working mechanisms, and the factors that
   make children more vulnerable to its detrimental effects.},

Abstract = {This study investigated potential differences in mental health among
   children living in sole physical custody (SPC), asymmetric joint
   physical custody (JPC), and symmetric JPC; and it tested whether
   children's age moderated the association between physical custody
   arrangements and children's mental health. Using data from the Family
   Models in Germany (FAMOD) and Norwegian Dynamics of Family Conflict
   (FAMC) studies, we estimated OLS regression models for children aged 2
   to 14. In the German sample, children in asymmetric JPC had fewer mental
   health problems than children in SPC. However, this difference
   disappeared when controlling for various background variables, including
   the quality of parent-child relationships. Additionally, children's age
   moderated the association between physical custody arrangements and
   children's mental health problems, with increasing age being related to
   fewer mental health problems in asymmetric JPC. This association
   remained even after controlling for the background variables. In the
   Norwegian sample, no differences were found between children depending
   on their physical custody arrangements; similarly, children's age did
   not moderate the association. The results of this study emphasize that
   there may be cultural differences in how children's mental health is
   related to their physical custody arrangements. Furthermore, there are
   modest indications that asymmetric JPC may be related to better mental
   health among older children in Germany.},

Abstract = {Worldwide, parental divorce and separation rates are high. These include
   impactful experiences to all involved, posing risks on well-being and
   functioning of parents and their children, and leading to increased
   professional care seeking. The Dutch `Divorce ATLAS' training aims at
   informing and empowering parents after divorce or separation. The
   intervention offers preventive support and psychoeducation in a
   2-sessions group program. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of
   Divorce ATLAS for parents in the Dutch setting. We performed a
   quasi-experimental study in which we compared parents participating in
   Divorce ATLAS groups (n = 187) and parents on a waiting list for online
   support (n = 111). Outcomes included well-being of parents and their
   children, parental sense of competence and social support, and
   children's prosocial behavior. We performed regression analyses to
   assess differences in outcomes between intervention and control group.
   Additionally, we measured and reported parental knowledge and trigger to
   act after the intervention. As compared with routine family support of
   parents in the control group, the Divorce ATLAS group intervention led
   to increases in parents' sense of parenting incompetence (Hedges' g =
   0.19), and in perceived social support (Hedges' g = 0.23). Moreover,
   most parents indicated that Divorce ATLAS had increased their knowledge
   and had triggered them to act accordingly. Hence, the increased sense of
   parenting incompetence in the intervention group may be due to increased
   participants' awareness of their parenting behaviors. In sum, Divorce
   ATLAS is promising for educating and supporting parents after divorce.
   The high prevalence of parental divorce and its high impact on parent
   and child well-being and functioning call for preventive support of
   these families in adapting to their union dissolution.(Court-connected)
   educational programs for divorcing parents are available in the majority
   of U.S. counties. Availability and evidence regarding its effects are
   limited outside the U.S.This study in the Netherlands shows that the
   divorce education program Divorce ATLAS informs and effectively
   increases support as perceived by divorced or separated parents.These
   promising findings support wider implementation of Divorce ATLAS to
   educate and support parents after union dissolution.},

Abstract = {Research on marital quality and child well-being is currently limited by
   its common use of geographically constrained, homogenous, and often
   cross-sectional (or at least temporally limited) samples. We build upon
   previous work showing multiple trajectories of marital quality and data
   from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-1979 (NLSY79) regarding
   mothers and their children (inclusive of ages 5-14). We examine how
   indicators of child well-being are linked to parental trajectories of
   marital quality (happiness, communication, and conflict). Results showed
   children whose parents had consistently poor marital quality over the
   life course exhibited more internalizing and externalizing problems,
   poorer health, lower quality home environments, and lower math and
   vocabulary scores than children of parents in consistently
   higher-quality marriages. Group differences remained stable over time
   for child health, home environment, and vocabulary scores. Group
   differences for internalizing problems declined over time, whereas group
   differences increased for externalizing problems and math scores.
   Initial advantages for females across nearly all indicators of child
   well-being tended to shrink over time, with boys often moving slightly
   ahead by mid adolescence. We discuss the implications of these findings
   in regard to children's development and well-being and suggest treating
   marriage as a monolithic construct betrays important variation within
   marriage itself.},

Abstract = {Extant research in Western countries have indicated that children's
   well-being may be influenced by children's own resilience, parent-child
   attachment, and parental marital relationship. Yet, there is very little
   research in Malaysia on how these factors may influence well-being among
   children in middle childhood. The aim of this study, therefore, was to
   explore the relationships among children's self-efficacy-a resilience
   factor-and well-being, parental marital relationship, and parent-child
   attachment style. The study used a quantitative, cross-sectional survey
   method. Participants were 955 Malay-Malaysian children aged 11 years
   from intact families. They responded to a questionnaire on demographic
   background, self-efficacy, well-being, parental harmony and conflict,
   and parent-child attachment style. Moderated mediation analysis
   indicated that (i) parental harmony was a significant mediator for the
   relationship between children's self-efficacy and well-being; (ii)
   parental conflict was not a significant mediator for the relationship
   between children's self-efficacy and well-being; and (iii) parent-child
   attachment style was a significant moderator for the relationship
   between children's self-efficacy and well-being. These findings are
   discussed within the frameworks of optimal child development and family
   relationship. These findings may also inform policies such as Malaysia's
   Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3) and National Family Policy.},

Title = {Can online parent education meet the needs of the courts and improve the
   well-being of children? The critical roles of goal, program, and
   evidence alignment},

Abstract = {Parent education in family courts can significantly impact children's
   well-being after divorce if programs are (1) widely accessible, (2)
   acceptable to parents, (3) feasible to implement by courts, and (4) have
   evidence of effectiveness in improving key outcomes for children. In
   light of recently raised concerns about whether
   court-ordered/court-mandated parent education is justified, to it is
   critical to identify effective parent education programs. Online parent
   education programs have the potential to be widely accessible,
   acceptable to parents and courts, and effectively promote children's
   well-being. However, few effective online parent education programs are
   being widely adopted by family courts. There is some controversy about
   whether online parent education meets the needs of family courts in
   being cost-effective programs that offer ways to hold parents
   accountable for their participation. We articulate the wide array of
   goals for parent education programs and present a framework to identify
   and select programs that meet specific goals. We discuss access, cost,
   evidence of effectiveness, acceptability, credibility, and compliance
   tracking. We highlight two online parent education programs to
   illustrate differences in contexts and goals and to show that online
   programs have great potential to be effective in accomplishing goals
   valued by the courts.
   Online parent education programs have considerable promise to accomplish
   multiple goals of parent education programs delivered through courts.
   Courts need to consider how online parent education programs align with
   their jurisdiction's specific goals, including statutory requirements.
   Ideally, online parent education programs will be designed to accomplish
   the goals of all stakeholders, including family court personnel (judges,
   administrators, and service providers), family law professionals
   (attorneys, mediators, mental health providers), and participating
   parents. The family law community needs a systematic way to evaluate and
   communicate to stakeholders the evidence that online programs accomplish
   their stated goals. Online programs that claim to be evidence-based
   should specify the outcomes that have been evaluated and the
   corresponding level of evidence of effectiveness to impact those
   outcomes.},
