Associations between marital intimate partner violence (IPV) and postseparation coparenting relationship trajectories were examined among 135 mothers who participated in 5 interviews at 3-month intervals in the year following their divorce filing. Growth curve analysis was conducted to assess change and variability in coparenting dimensions (i.e., conflict, support, communication about child rearing, and harassment) in the overall sample and by type of IPV. In the overall sample, coparenting conflict, communication about child rearing, and harassment decreased across the year following separation. However, coparenting relationships differed considerably based on marital IPV experiences. At Time 1, mothers in relationships with coercive controlling violence (CCV) reported higher levels of harassment and conflict, and lower levels of support and communication about coparenting, than mothers with situational couple violence (SCV) or no violence (NV). Furthermore, coparenting relationship trajectories differed significantly by IPV group, with mothers who experienced CCV showing more variability in conflict and harassment, and more marked changes in conflict, support, and harassment. Despite many similarities, mothers with SCV showed higher initial levels of harassment compared to mothers with NV. Findings can support family court and social service professionals' efforts to individualize interventions with divorcing parents based on IPV experiences. In cases of CCV, for example, attention to heightened control dynamics in the immediate separation period remain critical but the persistent volatility across the first year suggests the potential for chronic stress. With SCV, practitioners may be able to capitalize on parents' reasonable levels of communication and steady coparenting support. (PsycINFO Database Record
本研究调查了 135 名母亲，她们在提交离婚申请后的一年内，每三个月接受一次 5 次访谈。研究使用增长曲线分析来评估总体样本和不同类型亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的父母共同养育维度（即冲突、支持、育儿沟通和骚扰）的变化和可变性。在总体样本中，父母在分居后的一年中，共同养育冲突、育儿沟通和骚扰呈下降趋势。然而，父母的共同养育关系因婚姻 IPV 经历而有很大差异。在第 1 次访谈时，经历强制性控制暴力（CCV）的母亲报告了更高水平的骚扰和冲突，以及更低水平的支持和育儿沟通，而经历情境性夫妻暴力（SCV）或没有暴力（NV）的母亲则报告了较低水平的骚扰和冲突，以及更高水平的支持和育儿沟通。此外，父母共同养育关系轨迹因 IPV 组而异，经历 CCV 的母亲在冲突和骚扰方面的可变性更大，在冲突、支持和骚扰方面的变化更为显著。尽管存在许多相似之处，但经历 SCV 的母亲在初始阶段的骚扰水平高于 NV 组的母亲。研究结果可以支持家庭法院和社会服务专业人员根据 IPV 经历为离婚父母制定个性化干预措施。例如，在 CCV 情况下，在立即分居期间，对控制动态的关注仍然至关重要，但在第一年持续的波动性表明存在慢性压力的可能性。对于 SCV，从业者可能能够利用父母合理的沟通水平和稳定的共同养育支持。
