DESCRIPTION

The Wisconsin Parents Study is a study of about 1,200 divorced families with children throughout the state of Wisconsin and is funded by the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families. Researchers are interested in learning about the daily lives or divorced parents. The main purpose of this study is to gather information that will help us better understand the living arrangements, needs, and circumstances of divorced families.

UWSC will conduct an hour-long interview with mothers and fathers who have either shared or primary child placement arrangements. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, these interviews are being conducted by telephone.
