Abstract	We use data from a sample of divorced parents in Wisconsin (N=1,392) to examine how parents describe their children's living arrangements. When the children spend substantial time in both parents homes, both parents are less likely to use the phrase live with to describe living arrangements. When children spend most nights with their mother, mothers are more likely than fathers to state that the children live with their mother. Together, these findings suggest that family researchers no longer can rely on simple questions to capture complex living arrangements. We need clearer and more careful question wording and, in some instances, follow-up questions to accurately describe where children live. (Author).
