Relitigation of custody, visitation, and child support during a two-year period was used as a measure of postdivorce adjustment. A sample of highly adversarial families (n = 58) referred for a court-ordered psychiatric evaluation as part of a contested divorce custody or visitation action was compared to control samples of mother custody (n = 43), father custody (n = 30), and joint custody (n = 54) families in which custody was not contested. Nineteen percent of adversarial families evaluated predivorce relitigated custody, a significantly higher rate than control families. Mother custody cases had a higher rate of relitigation over child support than did father or joint custody arrangements. Joint custody controls had approximately the same rate of relitigation of custody as did father custody and mother custody controls. A sample of families referred for evaluation of a postdivorce custody or visitation dispute (n = 46) had a higher rate of relitigation of problems regarding visitation than did a control sample of postdivorce families (n = 36). Possible explanations for these findings are discussed.
在两年时间内重新提起监护权、探视权和子女抚养费相关诉讼被用作衡量离婚后适应情况的一项指标。作为有争议的离婚监护权或探视权诉讼一部分而被转介进行法院命令的精神病学评估的高度对抗性家庭样本（n = 58），与未对监护权提出争议的母亲监护（n = 43）、父亲监护（n = 30）和共同监护（n = 54）家庭的对照样本进行了比较。在离婚前接受评估的对抗性家庭中，19%重新提起了监护权诉讼，这一比例显著高于对照家庭。母亲监护案件在子女抚养费方面重新提起诉讼的比例高于父亲监护或共同监护安排。共同监护对照组在监护权重新提起诉讼方面的比例与父亲监护和母亲监护对照组大致相同。因离婚后监护权或探视权纠纷而被转介评估的家庭样本（n = 46）在探视问题上重新提起诉讼的比例高于离婚后家庭的对照样本（n = 36）。文中讨论了这些发现的可能解释。
