Abstract
In a three-stage study, noncustodial parents' psychopathic deviance an d alcohol use accounted for significant variance in custodial parents' reports of child support and visitation. In noncustodial parents' rep orts, compliance with child support, but not frequency of visitation, was related to measures of deviance. Implications for policy, research , and psychoeducational interventions are discussed.
