Abstract The present study examines how often black and white separated fathers visit their children. The present study shows that racial differences in visitation are not indications that black fathers abdicate their paternal roles. Instead, visitation is related to historically adaptive characteristics of the black family, such as a greater degree of self-sufficiency among women and strong ties with extended family members.
