Using data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, examines associations between family structure and economic trajectories during the first five years after a child's birth, paying special attention to non-traditional families.

The association between marital status and health among men has been well documented, but few studies track health trajectories following family structure transitions among unmarried fathers.

Little is known about the effect of incongruity between perception of, or belief in, the availability of support and actual receipt of support during a time of need.

Recent studies linking marital status and health increasingly focus on marital trajectories to examine the relationship from a life course perspective.

Using the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, we examine the association between parental major depressive and generalized anxiety disorders and child behavior problems across family types: married, cohabiting, involved nonresident father, and noninvolved nonresident father.

Mothers who perceive that their child's father is supportive are less likely to have mental health problems 5 years after birth; married mothers report the highest levels of supportiveness.

This study demonstrates that traditional measures oversimplify the relation between marital status and mortality and that sex differences are related to a nexus of marital experiences and associated health risks.
