Joint physical custody, a parental care arrangement in which a child lives with each
parent about equally after separation or divorce, is an increasingly common phenomenon
in many Western countries. Although attention from family scholars, practitioners, and
law professionals is growing, there are hardly any numbers on the prevalence of joint physical
custody (JPC). Moreover, studies using large-scale representative data on the effects of
JPC for children’s well-being are still rare. The data for this study come from Health Behaviour
in School-Aged Children (HBSC), a representative cross-national survey of adolescents
in 37 European and North American countries that was conducted in 2002, 2006,
and 2010 and included information on students at the ages of 11, 13, and 15 years
(N = 92,886). First, results revealed that symmetrical JPC after family dissolution is still
very rare in the majority of countries (5% or less), but reaches 10–20% in some countries.
Second, adolescents’ life satisfaction in nonintact families is higher in symmetric JPC
arrangements than in asymmetric care arrangements. However, after controlling for children
and family characteristics, the differences disappear. Thus, it is not the symmetric
JPC arrangement that induces adolescents’ higher life satisfaction, but rather the children
and family characteristics that are associated with the choice of such a custody arrangement
by separated or divorced parents.
