Unmarried Parents

Pew Research Center analysis of 2017 census data found that one in four parents was unmarried, a sharp increase in recent years. Being married or unmarried does not change the fact that most parents — especially single ones — should have life insurance.


The Situation
Unmarried couples can name each other as beneficiaries if they can prove they have an insurable interest in each other because they provide financial or other support. Then, if the unthinkable happens to one of them, the other could keep their financial ship afloat with life insurance proceeds.


In contrast, single parents living with their minor children, but without a partner, have to depend on themselves. They likely need life insurance, and also the legal documentation that addresses their children’s care if the parent is out of the picture.


Determining Your Needs
How much insurance will you need? It depends on how many children you have, if they would need childcare, whether your surviving spouse or partner intends to work and more. You can work with an insurance professional to determine how much and what type of insurance is best with your situation.
