Prior research has noted that although cooperative coparenting between resident and nonresident parents is beneficial to children, this form of shared parenting is relatively uncommon. Relying on nationally representative data from two waves of the National Survey of Families and Households (N = 628), we examine the importance of nonresident fathers' and resident mothers' new marriages and new children for levels of cooperative coparenting and test whether changes in coparenting are linked to changes in parents' marital or fertility statuses. Consistent with prior studies, our data suggest that cooperative coparenting does not occur in most nonresident father families. Results suggest that changes to the nonresident father's family structure are of primary importance for cooperative coparenting, but that mother's family structure is relatively unimportant.
先前的研究指出，虽然常住父母与非常住父母之间的合作式共同养育对孩子有益，但这种共同养育形式相对不常见。基于来自两轮全国家庭与住户调查的具有全国代表性的数据（N = 628），我们考察了非常住父亲和常住母亲的新婚姻及新生子女对于合作式共同养育水平的重要性，并检验共同养育的变化是否与父母婚姻状况或生育状况的变化相关。与先前研究一致，我们的数据表明，大多数非常住父亲家庭中不存在合作式共同养育。结果表明，非常住父亲家庭结构的变化对合作式共同养育最为重要，而母亲的家庭结构相对不太重要。
