ABSTRACT Since 2000, the number of custody disputes has increased in Sweden. Living in the midst of a parental conflict places the children under great stress. Research on parental conflicts is predominantly theoretical; thus, there is a need for empirical studies to better understand the problems and needs of the children and parents. This article examines parental disputes regarding custody, residence, and access for children, and aims to understand the characteristics of the conflicts behind the disputes. The article is primarily based on qualitative analyses of court documents. The results show that the majority of the parents’ conflicts are defined as conflicts of values, stemming from concern about the other parent’s capability to care for younger children.

摘要 自 2000 年以来，瑞典的监护权纠纷数量有所增加。生活在父母之间的冲突中，会给孩子带来很大的压力。对父母冲突的研究主要是理论性的；因此，需要进行实证研究，以更好地了解儿童和父母的问题和需求。本文考察父母在监护权、居住权和子女探视权方面的纠纷，旨在了解纠纷背后的冲突特点。本文主要基于对法庭文件的定性分析。结果表明，大多数父母的冲突被定义为价值观冲突，源于对另一方父母照顾年幼孩子的能力的担忧。
