Abstract:

As more unmarried couples become parents, it is important to understand the dynamics that help these couples to maintain strong relationships. This article explores the association of the two partners' beliefs about father involvement with their likelihood of union dissolution and transition to marriage, using the first two waves of the Fragile Families survey ( n = 2,303). It finds that couples are more likely to end their union when partners do not believe that fathers' caregiving is very important and when the father participates less. Partners are less likely to marry if the mother does no

Abstract:

One hundred three students from a small liberal arts college rated statements about potential stigma associated with unmarried teen parents. After reading a scenario describing an unmarried teen couple’s pregnancy and early parenting experiences, participants indicated their level of agreement with 11 statements for either the mother or the father. Multivariate analysis of variance comparisons of the items indicated that the focus of attention was on the mother, in both positive and negative ways. Compared to unmarried teen fathers, unmarried teen mothers were seen as more sexually promiscuous

Abstract:

The study of adolescent childbearing is a major public policy concern, and father involvement is a particular focus. Previous research with married couples has found that coparenting may be a better predictor of father involvement than relationship quality. The current study examined 94 primiparous African American and Latino parents to determine whether coparenting expectations during pregnancy better predict concurrent father involvement secondary to a mediation effect. Results were mixed; simple mediation was supported, but structural equation modeling (SEM) results suggested a better fitti

Abstract:

Limited research is available with regard to the experience of biological fathers who are interested in being involved in their children’s lives but are restricted from doing so. In this study, we aimed to contribute to understanding these paternal constraints and to give unmarried fathers a platform to voice their experiences regarding restricted contact with their children. Interviews were conducted with six single, Setswana-speaking black fathers in South Africa. The phenomenological analysis revealed fatherhood to be an unplanned event at an early age; the cultural responsibilities and con

Abstract:

This thesis seeks to establish whether unmarried fathers in English, Australian and South African law are treated differently from other parents in the enjoyment of parental rights and in the judicial resolution of residence and contact disputes. The first part of the work considers the different bases on which parental authority is allocated in each of the three jurisdictions. The Australian model is categorised as inclusive, by reason that it allocates parental authority automatically to all parents; and the English and South African models as exclusive, by reason that at least some categori

Abstract:

Studies on African fatherhood represent African fathers as problematic and in South Africa, they are identified as ‘‘emotionally disengaged, physically absent, abusive and do not pay for their children's upkeep'' (Morrell & Ritcher, 2006:81). Many studies link the high rates of absent fathers to poverty and irresponsibility. Such literature is devoid of cultural factors that might be contributing to the high rates of absent fathers in most African communities. Across Southern Africa, intlawulo, a customary practice that involves the paying of a fine by a man responsible for impregnating a

Abstract:

The aim of this dissertation is to establish if the unmarried father has been placed in a better position regarding his rights to his child with the advent of the Children’s Act 38 of 2005. Prior to the commencement of the Children’s Act a number of different sets of legislation encompassed the unmarried father’s position. The unmarried father could not automatically acquire any rights to his child and had to prove that it would be in the child’s best interests to be allowed contact. The study was done on the basis of an analysis of the interaction of the unmarried father’s rights with th

Abstract:

This thesis explores the impact of the new Children’s Act, Act 38 of 2005 on the acquisition by unmarried fathers of parental responsibilities and rights. The research has shown that the Children’s Act has fundamentally transformed the way in which parental responsibilities and rights are acquired. Parental responsibilities and rights can now be automatically acquired by a committed unmarried father. Although the Act has undergone major changes, unmarried fathers must still satisfy many more requirements than mothers, and thus it is asserted that the Act is deemed not to have been progressive

Abstract “If I only were a man ... I have read too much, seen too much, drunk too much. So I don’t like myself anymore. I’d like to lose thirty pounds of weight. Please, doctor, send me to a plastic surgeon.” The words were those of a 20-year-old woman who was, according to her therapist, preoccupied with her weight and obsessed with the shape of her breasts. Another woman described as obsessed with her breasts, also suffering from depression, was a 27-year-old unmarried Ph.D. with a “brilliant reputation” as a researcher. These women were the daughters of successful fathers, one a director of a factory, the other a well-known lawyer, and of mothers who were homemakers. The first woman spoke little of her mother but was “very attached” to her father, while the second woman, according to her therapist, strongly identified with her father, and not her mother, who was described as “below the father’s level from an intellectual point of view.”

Abstract:

Abstract This chapter examines parents’ attitudes towards their children, using letters, diaries, and poor relief records. It argues that legitimate and illegitimate parenthood were viewed differently, but that the gap between the two was often only a matter of degree. A positive parental relationship with illegitimate children was possible and could fit within wider ideals of parenthood in this period. Unmarried parents could, and did, act as tender fathers and anxious mothers to illegitimate children. This chapter emphasizes the importance of socio-economic class in parental experience. By contrasting the experience of poor, middling, and elite parents, it argues that the poor law created an atmosphere of antagonistic filiation, which was primarily responsible for fathers refusing to acknowledge children. Fathers made judgements over the likelihood of their paternity and the trustworthiness of women which were dependent on the mother’s class and the type of parental relationship. Limitations on maternal acknowledgement were primarily practical, reflecting women’s limited economic agency, and parents did not generally associate their children with shame.

Abstract:

Having considered the content of parental responsibility in chapter 12, this chapter turns to its allocation. The chapter starts by explaining the allocation of parental responsibility automatically at the child’s birth and through registration on the birth certificate. It then turns to consider applications by unmarried, unregistered fathers for parental responsibility orders. The acquisition of parental responsibility by non-parents, including step-parents and local authorities is then outlined. Finally, it discusses the question of shared parental responsibility and how that responsibility may be exercised in the case of disagreement.

Abstract:

In the past, the identity of a child's mother was always clear. However, thanks to reproductive technologies, a woman can gestate, nourish, and give birth to a child to whom she is not genetically connected. In addition, a person can be legally male and conceive, carry, and give birth to a child. The law has had to adapt to these circumstances. This chapter looks at how the law has defined parentage. It considers reproductive technologies and the various permutations of conception that exist today. It then turns to parental responsibility before concluding by looking at the position of unmarried fathers.

This chapter provides the definition of PR as taken from Section 3 of the Children Act 1989 and provides examples of what it actually is in relation to decisions and responsibilities that a parent may make on behalf of their child during their childhood. It discusses the nature and scope of PR, and how it is acquired. It covers the law on automatic parental responsibility; how unmarried fathers can acquire PR; and PR for non-natural parents. It also discusses termination of PR orders and agreements. Case-law is used to provide examples.
