The Daddy Track – Number of Single Dads With Child Custody on the Rise

Posted in Uncategorized at 11:01 pm by Administrator

This interesting article discusses some of the ongoing changes in our society’s view of gender and parenting roles. We were especially struck by the following fact:

“Across the United States, the number of households headed by single fathers almost doubled between 1990 and 2006, from 1.15 million to 2.1 million – or 20 percent of all single-parent families, US Census Bureau figures show.”

We can expect to see more pressure from the fathers’ rights movement on state governments to change their custody laws to reflect this new reality.
