  title = {Fathers{\textquoteright} Roles Amidst Family Complexity After a Nonmarital Birth},
  abstract = {Notable changes in family life over the past half century suggest a disconnection between marriage and childbearing/childrearing and an increase in family complexity. Many men, particularly disadvantaged men, will be living away from some or all of their biological children and/or living with children (of their partners) to whom they are not biologically related. In this paper, we provide new quantitative information about the prevalence and nature of urban unmarried fathers{\textquoteright} roles amidst complexity after nonmarital births (as compared to marital births) using data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study over 9 years after a birth. To the extent that fathers{\textquoteright} involvement has an important influence on children and on the wellbeing of men themselves, this research provides important new information about what contemporary fathers do{\textemdash}and hence what children -\~{}get{\textquoteright}{\textemdash}in the context of contemporary family complexity.},
