I asked her if she was receiving child support from the Father, and she just said that she was not, and she did not know where he was. That is as far as we have gone with that subject.
As far as divorce:
According to enrichment journal on the divorce rates in America, the divorce rate in America for first marriage is 41%.

I have a cousin who has been married 3 times.
That link above shows that trying a 2nd time, or even a 3rd time, is not a good idea. The odds of success are low.
My parents divorced.
-------------------------------------------------
Divorce is not being assumed, or expected.
It is being taken into consideration as a possibility.
Let me give another
real life example of taking things into consideration.
How many married couples have their will setup in case one of them dies?
My cousin did not. And it took over $10,000 in legal fees to get the house in his name alone. Their will was not prepared for her death.
Can the surviving parent have the financial ability to raise the child alone?
No one is assuming death of one parent, just planning for the unexpected.
And every day in this country the unexpected happens.
