Abstract(s)
This article explores the components and the plurality of everyday parenting among separated mothers and fathers. Drawing on an online survey of 114 mothers and fathers, it presents a topological analysis of mothers’ and fathers’ child-rearing activities and decision-making; unilateral, parallel and negotiated relationships; residence and contact; and legal orders. The findings revealed five mothering and fathering patterns: ‘unilateral’, ‘traditional residential’ and ‘interchangeable’ mothering; and ‘involved non-residential’ and ‘interchangeable’ fathering. They disclose the relational and gendered structures of motherhood and fatherhood practice and social representation that are shaping post-separation parenting within the legal framework of shared parenting.
