The influence of shared custody on the child's school success in primary school
Dvořáková, Kateřina ; Straková, Jana (advisor) ; Valenta, Josef (referee)
The topic of this diploma thesis is the influence of joint custody on school successfulness of a child. In the theoretical part I describe a contemporary family and major functions of the family. I chart the situation of legislation in the Czech Republic, I deal with circumstances how the Czech courts make a decision about commiting children into parental care after a divorce of their parents and whether the number of children being involved in joint custody increases. I am really interested in the fact whether the courts make a decision based on the child needs. Following this part I focus on the definition of school successfulness of children and the behaviour of younger learners. I indicate the factors that could have an influence on school successfulness. In the practical part I present the results of my qualitative research. I explore the influence of joint custody into child school successfulness from the point of view of class teachers. I survey the behaviour of children who live in joint custody after the divorce of parents and I also take an interest into the fact whether the class teacher have noticed any features that could connect these children.

Because of the he lack of interviews I've combined this information with the data from online discussion for divorced fathers. To understand this topic in a more complete way I've also made interviews with two experts - Lukáš Talpa and one of the workers of the Authority for Social and Legal Protection of Children. The theoretical background of this essay is an active fatherhood and a life-course perspective. By thematic analysis I discovered a few mutual patterns. First of these patterns is disadvantaging fathers during the custody courts. This topic is very specific and hard to prove. Also, there are not enough expert studies, so I analyzed mostly my own data. Even though the experiences of the fathers are mostly negative, the experts claim that there is no global discrimination during the custody courts and the chances for men and women to achieve the after-divorce custody care they prefer are equal. Next of the common patterns is a...
