La custodia compartida en España: análisis desde el modelo push-pull

Abstract

The analysis of the social variables that influence the allocation of custody has become an increasingly recurrent phenomenon under study. The present article, using the push and pull theoretical approach and focusing on the case of Spain, aims to examine how these variables influence the allocation of the shared modality, distinguishing between sociodemographic (characteristics of marriage) on the one hand and contextual (structural-economic and public opinion) on the other. The methodology used to study the data has been quantitative, using multiple linear regression as an analysis technique. The created database has been generated from the Statistics on Annulments, Separations and Divorces of the National Statistics Institute (INE, in the Spanish acronym) and from different rates obtained from the INE and the Sociological Research Center. The main conclusion is that although the two regression models obtained explain the allocation of joint custody, it is the set of contextual variables and specifically the gross domestic product of each autonomous community that have the greatest explanatory power.
