Note: Includes parents with one or more children (aged 18 years and under at the time of the survey), who do not all live at the same primary residence and who separated or divorced within the last 20 years. The GSS allows multiple responses on the type of written agreement, given that arrangements for different children may be different. However, this table provides information based on the highest level of involvement by courts or legal services. Therefore, percentages for use of lawyers will not include those who also reported using family justice services or courts. Totals include the "don't know" and "refused" categories, which are not shown in the table. Percentages do not add to 100%.
