Court records of 358 divorce cases involving children from matched counties in two states with opposite legal presumptions concerning joint legal custody were reviewed. The impact of such presumptions upon actual custody awards was examined, as well as the correlation between demographic and other custody arrangement variables and joint legal and physical custody in both states. It was found that the existence of a presumption concerning joint legal custody affected legal but not physical custody award patterns. Significant correlations were discovered between joint custody and the presence of specific language in court orders concerning parental rights/responsibilities and financial support for children; parental education; gender of plaintiff; welfare agency involvement and defendants' requests for custody. Implications of these findings are discussed.
对来自两个州匹配县的358起涉及子女的离婚案件法庭记录进行了审查,这两个州在共同法定监护权方面有相反的法律推定。研究了这些推定对实际监护权裁决的影响,以及人口统计学和其他监护安排变量与两个州的共同法定监护权和实际监护权之间的相关性。研究发现,关于共同法定监护权的推定影响了法律监护权但不影响实际监护权的裁决模式。在共同监护权与法庭命令中关于父母权利/责任和子女经济支持的特定措辞;父母教育程度;原告性别;福利机构的参与以及被告的监护权请求之间发现了显著的相关性。讨论了这些发现的意义。
