Paternal involvement with children has received increased attention, yet the factors that influence variation in involvement remain largely unidentified. This analysis of fathers from a nationally representative sample explores the relationship between timing of fatherhood and men's parenting behavior and parental affect. Multivariate analyses reveal no effects of timing on these outcomes when considered separately. Yet, differences are found on a multidimensional typology of paternal behavior and affect. Compared to on-time fathers, late fathers are more likely to be classified as highly involved with positive paternal affect. The results call into question the notion that on-time transitions are optimal. Explanation for the findings are framed in terms of competing role and the accumulation of psychological ressources
