Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Most of what is known about nonresident parenthood and its effects on children comes from studies of children with nonresident fathers. Yet, one in four children with a nonresident parent lives apart from a mother. Based on a sample of 1,503 children with nonresident mothers from the National Survey of America’s Families (NSAF), this study investigates the following three research questions: (1) what is the effect of involvement (child support and visitation) with nonresident mothers on children’s well-being? (2) what is the relationship between the child’s household living arrangements (single father, cohabiting partner, stepparent, grandparent/relative, or nonrelative household) and children’s well-being, and, (3) does the effect of involvement from the nonresident mother vary by the living arrangements of the child? Preliminary results indicate that regular visitation (at least once a week) with nonresident mothers is related to higher school engagement and less behavior and emotional problems in both younger (6-11) and older (12-17) children. Financial involvement received from nonresident mothers is associated with higher school engagement among older children. Younger and older children with nonresident mothers who live with single fathers, as opposed to other living arrangements, are significantly more engaged in school and have fewer problems. Among both younger and older children, the effect of involvement with the nonresident mother on child outcomes depends on the child’s living arrangements. Involvement with nonresident mothers appears to be most beneficial to children who live with single fathers as opposed to other living arrangements.
