According to U.S. Census figures, the number of American families led by single fathers has increased by 27.3 percent over the past 10 years. The growing number of families with single fathers has led to a greater acceptance of the role of the single father in the U.S.
Furthermore, statistics show that more and more single fathers are winning family court hearings like child custody disputes. “If the dad is really interested in getting custody and wants to have a relationship with his kids, he is far more successful than he was 20 years ago,” said a family law professor at the University of Notre Dame.
In 1950, only 1.1 percent of American families with children involved single dads. Today, single dads are in 8 percent of American families that include children.
