Note: The sample is limited to mothers observed in a first new partnership one, three or five years after the focal child's birth with information about biological fathers' (and, if applicable, new partners') characteristics. Estimates are unweighted. ^aThis is measured by comparing the biological fathers' and new partners' average economic capacities (whether they were employed, had never been incarcerated, had at least a high school diploma/GED, and had attended any college). Current partners' characteristics are measured at the time of repartnering, and biological fathers' characteristics – with the exception of education – were measured at the time of the child's birth. Biological fathers' education is updated using the fathers' own reports from the time of repartnering when possible.
