Data Collection and Coding Procedures
Data were collected by trained research assistants who examined the case records at courthouses in 10 representative counties. Information was recorded on standardized forms, developed specifically for the project, to capture all relevant data contained in final decrees, as well as information from petitions, counter petitions, temporary orders, amendments, and supplemental actions. The current analyses report only information from final decrees, the document that specifies the findings of fact and conclusions of law, signed by the judge, and stamped with a filing date.
