Children in single-parent households and cohab-
iting households are at much higher risk of 
child abuse than children in intact married and 
stepparent families. 
(F) Children who live apart from their bio-
logical fathers, on average, are more likely to be 
poor, experience educational, health, emotional, 
and psychological problems, be victims of child 
abuse, engage in criminal behavior, and become 
involved with the juvenile justice system than 
their peers who live with their married, biologi-
cal mother and father. A child living in a single-
parent family is nearly 5 times as likely to be 
poor as a child living in a married-couple fam-
