Single parenting is not a new phenomenon. In fact, the number of single parents
raising children in the U.S. has been on the rise for decades. According to the latest
single parent statistics reported in the article Unmarried and Single Americans
Week Sept. 18-24, 2011:
11.7 million* single parents were living with their children in 2010
9.9 million of those single parents were custodial single moms
1.8 million of those single parents were custodial single dads
According to these figures, approximately 85% of single parent households are
headed by custodial single moms, while 15% are headed by custodial single dads
