Approximately 40% of Divorced Mothers Admitted to Interfering with Father's Visitation to get Revenge

In CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY REVIEW, VOL. 14. NO. 8 it was revealed that 50% of divorced fathers stated that their ex-wife interfered with him visiting his children and approximately 40% of ex-wives actually admitted to doing it themselves.


An interest in getting revenge on the father was their motivation in interfering with the father's visitation. This to my knowledge is the only paper that has reported on what percentage of mothers try to deny fathers visitation at any time during the child's life. Why isn't this important issue being explored more often? I think we all know the answer.
