Across societies, the number of children growing up with only one parent is constantly increasing. In most cases of union dissolution, the child continues co-residing with the mother and the relationship between the non-resident father and the child needs to be redefined. Non-residential fatherhood arises in many contexts and the relationships between non-resident fathers and their children are heterogeneous. So far, most research has used data obtained from mothers to gain insight on father-child contacts after parental separation. However, more attention needs to be paid to fathers’ perspectives on their own experiences. Yet, given the non-availability of data, information obtained from non-resident fathers could hardly be analyzed so far. Moreover, there is no comparative research in this area. In this study, we use a unique dataset that allows us to analyze information obtained from non-resident fathers regarding the involvement with their children after parental breakup while accounting for country-specific characteristics. Our dataset links data from the Gender and Generations Programme for 14 countries to macro-level indicators that are likely to affect non-resident fathers’ involvement with their children, including a number of family policy indications as well as aggregated gender attitudes. We apply multinomial logistic regressions and find that fathers’ individual characteristics both in socio-demographic and interpersonal terms are important predictors of father-child contact. Cultural and policy-level factors are somewhat less strong in predicting father-child contact.
