Probably something to do with people splitting up.

I wish my parents had split up. A toxic environment is not better than a single parent.

Why are there so many single fathers?

Quote:The presumption that most single parents are mothers is accurate. According to the Census data:

Approximately 82.2% of custodial parents are mothers, and
17.8% of custodial parents (approximately 1 in 6) are fathers

I'm curious though, why are there so many single mothers?

Dude. So all the fathers to the kids of those single mothers died? Don't exist? Not having custody does not make them stop being fathers. It takes two to make a baby.

Are you saying that they aren't single mothers?

You're confusing me. I'm not as fast as you guys in the head, I apologize. Could you say what your point is? And how your point is relevant to my question?

Pretty sure the point is that for every single mother, there's a single father, discounting those who died or abandoned the family.

Also, I'm pretty sure the disparity in custody arises from the inclination of courts in America at least to prefer maternal custody unless the mother is unfit.

Nobody's beating around the bush, boo. You asked why there are so many single mothers. I think your question is loaded. I think it's biased. A better question would be why there are so many single parents.
