Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Analyzing a recent birth cohort in U.S. cities, Carlson and Furstenberg (2004) found that more than one-third of mothers and fathers had previously had a child with a different partner. They used the term �multipartnered fertility� to refer to childbearing with multiple partners. In this paper we test hypotheses about how multipartnered fertility may expand or contract a mother�s social support network. Using new, longitudinal data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing study, we analyze three domains of potential support (financial, housing, and child care) at two points in time � at a child�s birth and then approximately 30 months later. We find that multipartnered fertility is associated with diminished social support at the time a child is born, that the association was robust to controls for the main correlates of multipartnered fertility and social support, and that the diminished social support persisted 30 months after the child was born. Mother�s own multipartnered fertility appears to have stronger negative effects on her support network than her partner�s multipartnered fertility.
