이혼 후 자녀와 비양육부모의 면접교섭에 양육부모의 동기 요인이 미치는 영향

This study examined whether child support payments, perceived compensation, cost of child rearing, and perceived potential sup-port from former spouse, which are all factors related to custodial parent’s motivation to allow visitation, affect contact between children and non-custodial parents. The types of contact were divided into regular contact, irregular contact, and no contact. A comparison between single-father and single-mother families was conducted to see if motivation factors of custodial parents were different by gender of parents. Using the Living Status of Korean Single-Parent Families Survey, this study analyzed 1,913 divorced custodial parents through multi-nominal logit analysis. The motivation factors that influence regular contact were different by gender of parents. In single-mother families, child support payment was a significant motivation factor, while in single-father families, per-ceived potential support from former spouse was significant. These results suggest that an intervention strategy to increase visitations takes into account custodial parent’s motivation and gender difference.
