As of 2011, there were 70 million households in the US that included at least a father and children, and 1.7 million of those fathers were single. Almost 70% of the single fathers were either married, divorced or widowed, and the rest had never been married. Homes with single dads make up about 15% of the total number of single-parent households in the US.

The problem that arises from everything (the question divorces / partners, etc.) is almost always the same, that is, the children who are not guilty of anything are the ones to pay when adults want to end a relationship, regardless of culture, gender, etc. But one of the factors that influence today could be the monetary problems of the family, among others.
