Notes:	This article describes patterns of residence and contact prior to the Family Law Reform Act 1995 based on data from the Australian Divorce Transitions Project (ADTP). The sample comprised 237 divorced parents, that is 141 resident mothers and 96 non-resident fathers, who had at least one offspring less than 18 years at the time of interview. Children's living arrangements, including stability, decision-making and desire for change, were examined. Since most children reside with their mothers, the analysis of patterns of contact was limited to father-child contact. The factors considered relevant to contact are geographical distance, conflict between former spouses, relationship status and child support.
