Problem:
How can I make notes with bullet points in this paragraph? Another key to the well-being of children in divorced families is the children's relationship with their nonresidential parent, most often their father. As long as the two divorced parents can agree on child-rearing methods and maintain a cordial relationship, frequent visits with the nonresidential parent are linked to more positive adjustment in children (Dunn, 2008; Fabricius et al., 2010; Warshak, 2014). These visits are particularly helpful for sons. They are especially important if they allow the nonresidential parent to maintain a parental role by supervising homework, making meals, celebrating holidays, and so on rather than just becoming a casual adult pal. When conflict between parents continues, however, especially if it makes the child feel caught in the middle, frequent contact with the nonresidential parent is associated with problematic behavior by the child (Buchanan & Heiges, 2001). Frequent contact is also bad if the father has a history of antisocial acts such as stealing and fighting (DeGarmo, 2010). Clearly, what benefits children is having positive contact with the nonresidential parent in the absence of conflict, stress, and antisocial behavior and a healthy dose of cooperative coparenting (Carlson & McLanahan, 2010).
