Abstract
Visitation problems were examined from the perspectives of residential and nonresidential parents on 3 occasions. Visitation problems were c ommon at all assessments and moderately, stable over time. Residential parents' perceptions of visitation problems were significantly correl ated with concerns about their ex-spouse's parenting abilities shortly after filing for divorce and 3 years Inter. Also, shortly after filin g for divorce anger/hurt about the divorce uniquely predicted resident ial parents' reports of visitation problems. Implications for practice are discussed.
