![]() | Family Justice Council (UK) - Contact and Shared Parenting - Fathers' Rights Family Justice Council (UK) - Contact and Shared Parenting Independent and objective research (PLEASE SEE BELOW) regularly shows that children benefit from contact with both their parents even when they are separated and live in different families. Yet how can we change family justice in the UK to make it more effective, especially for children, when the body that is intended to help the Government make reforms cannot be relied upon? Kingsley Miller 26 March 2007 Dear Mr Miller Thank you for your enquiry. The reference you cite appears to be to our (unpublished) report to the funders of the research, the Department of Health. A brief description of the findings in relation to children's contact with non-resident parents is, however, published in: Smith, M. (2003) 'New Stepfamilies -- a descriptive study of a largely unseen group.' Child and Family Law Quarterly, 15 (2), 185-198. We did indeed find that there was no relationship between variables relating to (structural aspects of) contact with the non-resident parent and child well-being (and others have had similar findings). To quote the paper, 'There was no statistically significant association between whether the child had contact with the non-resident parent or not (regular contact, irregular contact, or no contact in the last year), nor, for those children who had seen their non-resident parent in the past year, was there any relationship with the frequency of contact. Similarly, there was no association between children's accounts of their well-being and whether they regularly stayed with the non-resident parent, or not.' But this only tells part of the story. The papers goes on to say, 'There was, however, some evidence that the nature of the relationship with the non-resident parent was important. Children who viewed their relationship with their non-resident father as the same as before (and him as just like a father), had significantly lower symptom scores (indicating greater well-being), than children who felt that their relationship with their non‑resident parent had changed in some way [ ]. Similarly, children who reported that they enjoyed contact with their non-resident father also had higher levels of well‑being (demonstrated by lower symptom scores) than those who had mixed feelings about contact, or did not enjoy it'. So I interpret this as indicating that it is the quality of the relationship that is important, rather than the structural aspects of contact. I hope this answers your question. I have also attached a copy of another paper based on the same study, which discusses aspects of the quality of relationships with non-resident fathers, but does not relate these to child well being.
