Maternal repartnering may have benefits for mothers and children. Yet, mothers with coresident children face more difficulty repartnering than other adults. Despite that shared physical custody and father involvement have increased over time, few studies have examined whether nonresidential father involvement and financial support are associated with subsequent maternal repartnering. Using data from the UK Millennium Cohort Study, we found a negative relationship between nonresident father involvement and subsequent maternal repartnering among mothers who were neither married nor cohabiting at childbirth. A potential explanation is that these parents may be engaged in fluid and uncertain relationships, and that the ambiguity thereof may discourage maternal repartnering. We found no association between father involvement and maternal repartnering for mothers who were cohabiting with or married to the father at the time of birth. Finally, we found no association between child support (maintenance) receipt and maternal repartnering, regardless of parental relationship status at the birth.
母亲重新建立伴侣关系可能对母亲和孩子都有益处。然而，与有共同居住子女的母亲相比，其他成年人在重新建立伴侣关系时面临的困难更少。尽管随着时间的推移，共同身体监护和父亲参与度有所增加，但很少有研究探讨非居住父亲的参与度和经济支持是否与母亲随后重新建立伴侣关系有关。利用英国千禧世代研究的数据，我们发现，在分娩时既未结婚也未同居的母亲中，非居住父亲的参与度与母亲随后重新建立伴侣关系之间存在负相关。一种可能的解释是，这些父母之间的关系可能不稳定且不确定，这种模糊性可能会阻碍母亲重新建立伴侣关系。我们发现，在分娩时与父亲同居或结婚的母亲中，父亲的参与度与母亲重新建立伴侣关系之间没有关联。最后，我们发现，无论出生时父母的关系状况如何，获得子女抚养费（赡养费）与母亲重新建立伴侣关系之间没有关联。
