As the number of fathers living separately from their children continues to rise, scholars, policy makers, and practitioners have devoted increasing attention to levels of nonresidential father involvement with children. Attention has been paid to the degree to which fathers visit with their children, provide financial support, and participate in decision making regarding their children. Using data from the National Survey of Families and Households, the present study explored the relationship between nonresidential father involvement and various aspects of father role enactment. Levels of participation in face-to-face visits, telephone or letter contact, and global decision making concerning children were analyzed using a hypothesized model of role enactment in relation to samples of divorced, nonresidential fathers. Strong support is offered for the relationship between father involvement with children and various factors associated with social role enactment.
