This often leaves mothers and children broke due to the father/boyfriend keeping all of his assets in the breakup: fox and luxton call for more inclusive definitions of family in future research. Carol stack study: single black mothers depending on each other economically and materially for the basics when raising children, these mothers defined family as the people that were willing to help raise the children.
