She has conducted many evaluations of single and multi-site projects on child support policies and ways to engage low-income fathers and provide more holistic, family-oriented services. These have included studies of programs dealing with in-hospital paternity, access and visitation, employment, debt compromise, healthy relationships, asset building and re-entry for ex-offenders.

Her many publications include “Co-parenting Interventions with Fragile Families,” (coauthored with James McHale and Maureen Waller), which appeared in Family Process (2012).
