Serial cohabitation has increased dramatically in the U.S., especially in the
low-income Black population. The purpose of the study is to understand cohabiting
and co-parenting relationships among unmarried cohabiting low-income urban Black
families on their own terms, identifying the strengths, challenges, and unique
needs of these families. Though cohabitation patterns varied widely, most
participants had extensive periods living without a partner. This finding
provides more support for the unbalanced marriage markets explanation than the
serial cohabitation explanation. Indeed, most participants' children (83%) had
none or only one resident father prior to the current cohabitation. Implications
for having a new resident father and child development are discussed.
