Beyond the voluntariness dichotomy: Perspectives of Singles Regarding Relationship Formation
This article focuses on the heterogeneity of perspectives of singles towards relationship formation. A framework-informed thematic analysis was used to comprehensively understand the reflective views on one’s singlehood status. As a heuristic framework, the ready–willing–able (RWA) framework captures the diversity and fluidity of these reflections to offer a more nuanced understanding than the traditional dichotomy of voluntary and involuntary si…
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the social work client base
The COVID-19 pandemic has rampaged through the daily life of individuals, increasing existing vulnerabilities and bringing about new ones. Social service workers act in close proximity and connection with these vulnerable groups, and measures taken to decrease the COVID-19 contamination rate — such as working from home, reducing social contacts and most of all lockdowns — negatively affect the core tasks of social service workers. Consequently, t…
Downward spirals to vulnerability: Social workers’ concerns about their clients during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic
One of the most frequently voiced concerns in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic is ‘not to forget the vulnerable groups in society’. Social workers occupy a privileged position with a view to mapping such vulnerabilities, their complex interrelations, and the processes that increase the risk of falling victim to them. Therefore, in order for policy interventions aimed at mitigating negative impact on vulnerable groups to be effective, it is impor…
Is joint physical custody in the best interests of the child? Parent-child relationships and custodial arrangements
When thinking about custodial arrangements after a divorce, there has been a shift from sole custody (mainly by mothers) to joint physical custody after a divorce. In certain countries, joint physical custody has even become the primary, legal custodial arrangement. Joint physical custody, whether implemented in legislation or not, is believed to be in the best interests of the child, as children can shape a postdivorce relationship with both the…
Parenting and Family Structure After Divorce: Are They Related
Children are raised in various family structures after a parental divorce. Currently, research including both repartnering and the custodial arrangement when investigating parenting is scarce and mainly proceeds from a maternal perspective, ignoring potential partner effects. Consequently, we investigate differences in parenting after divorce according to family structure (repartnering and custodial arrangement), analyzing a dyadic subsample of t…
Adult non-response bias from a child perspective. Using child reports to estimate father’s non-response
The parenting styles of divorced fathers and their predictors
Research on paternal parenting after divorce indicated that children benefit from authoritative parenting. Fathers are not equally likely to be authoritative. Research on differences in divorced fathers' parenting styles remains underdeveloped. We sought to address this gap, investigating the predictors of paternal parenting styles following divorce. First, latent class analysis was utilized to derive parenting styles for divorced fathers. Second…
Do Divorced Fathers Matter? The Impact of Parenting Styles of Divorced Fathers on the Well-Being of the Child
Previous research, which primarily focused on parenting of married parents or divorced mothers, indicated that authoritative parenting is positively related to children’s well-being. This article contributes to the literature by investigating parenting styles of divorced fathers and their influence on children’s well-being. Using a subsample (N = 684) of the multiactor Divorce in Flanders data set, we first compare parenting styles of residential…
Breaking Up, Breaking Hearts? Characteristics of the Divorce Process and Well-Being After Divorce
This article expands existing research on divorce and mental health by considering the divorce process and how it relates to the postdivorce well-being of men and women. Drawing on gender role theories, we focus on conflict, duration of the divorce process, initiation, moving house, and feelings of (in)equity. Men and women aged 25 to 60 years who had divorced no more than 5 years were selected from the population-based survey Divorce in Flanders…
Parenting stress and marital relationship as determinants of mothers' and fathers' parenting
Using the actor–partner interdependence model, we explore how various sources of stress and support experienced by fathers and mothers influence their own parenting styles and the parenting styles of the partner. Data from 227 couples were analyzed, with mothers and fathers rating their parenting stress and marital relationship and children rating the parenting styles of both mothers and fathers. Structural equation models revealed actor effects …

Is joint physical custody in the best interests of the child? Parent-child relationships and custodial arrangements

Joint physical custody, whether implemented in legislation or not, is believed to be in the best interests of the child, as children can shape a postdivorce relationship with both the…
