OLIVEIRA, Joyce Lúcia Abreu Pereira  and  CREPALDI, Maria Aparecida. Father involvement in the context of divorce from the perspective of the separated father. Rev. SPAGESP [online]. 2021, vol.22, n.1, pp. 54-66. ISSN 1677-2970.

The present research aimed to understand paternal involvement in the context of divorce/separation from the perspective of the separated father. A Focal Group with six separated fathers (men) was carried out and the data were analyzed through the thematic categorical analysis using Atlas.ti 5.0 software for data organization. The systemic perspective contributed to the understanding of the phenomenon as a process of continuous and recursive transformations, contingent on the history of interactions of the participants. Three categories emerged from the data analysis: Perceptions of the father about his involvement with the child; Characteristics of parental involvement of the separated father and Post-Divorce Construction of Paternity. The results showed relationships of interdependence between individual, relational and contextual factors.

Keywords : Father-child relationship; Parental involvement; Paternity; Divorce; Separation.
