Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The purpose of this study was to explore the association between father-mother relationship and father involvement in fragile family. The sample included 2,643 unwed fathers who completed the Fragile Families and Child Well-being Study baseline interview. The results showed the focal relationship between father-mother relationship and father involvement was statistically significant. That is, unwed fathers who had a more steady relationship with child�s mother tended to have higher father involvement than fathers who had a less steady relationship with child�s mother. Fatherhood role identity did not mediate effect focal relationship. Residential status was a significant moderator of the focal relationship. Finally, work status was also a significant predictor of father involvement. To develop and implement parenting programs for unwed fathers, program should highlight how to create a good parental relationship and start early when the baby is delivered in the hospital. In addition, social workers should focus on target fathers who are still involved with their children and child�s mother and do regular home visitation. Finally, enhanced job opportunities for unwed fathers may foster their assumption of parental obligations.
