Fifty moves a year: is there an association between joint physical custody and psychosomatic problems in children? |
Download |
| “Background In many Western countries, an increasing number of children with separated parents have joint physical custody, that is, live equally much in their parent’s respective homes. In Sweden, joint physical custody is particularly common and concerns between 30% and 40% of the children with separated parents. It has been hypothesised that the frequent moves and lack of stability in parenting may be stressful for these children.” | |

This has been demonstrated in a groundbreaking new article by Sara McLanahan from Princeton University and her colleagues (from Cornell U and UC Berkeley), entitled “The Causal Effects of Father Absence” in the leading sociology journal, the Annual Review of Sociology (2013). “ | |

Child Support Guidelines and Guidelines Reviews: State Differences and Common Issues |
Download |
| “Since 1989, federal regulations require each state to provide presumptive guidelines (formulas) for determining the amount of child support awards and to review their guidelines at least once every four years.1 Most states developed and adopted their initial guidelines in the late 1980s. States developed their guidelines based on similar premises and guidelines models and relied on a limited number of available economic studies on the cost of child-rearing. “ |
