This study tracked a sample of Canadian households over time to determine whether divorced parents exhibit a diminished capacity to parent their children in the period following divorce. Using 2 waves of data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth, the study followed 5,004 children living in 2-biological parent households at initial interviews in 1994 and subsequent interviews in the next two two-year cycles. Changes in parenting practices between those households that subsequently divorced and those that remained intact were compared. Linear regression analysis showed that there were no differences in parenting behavior for parents who divorced compared to parents who remained married. Although earlier studies popularized the concept of a diminished capacity to parent in the aftermath of divorce, this study suggests that there are more similarities than differences in parenting practices between divorced parents and those who do not divorce.
