Abstract: Much of the existing literature considers many things that could potentially affect financial well-being like income levels, medical conditions, access to resources, and even gender. My research adds to this list by looking at what point in parenting you are likely to be most financially vulnerable. The data show a fluctuating correlation between the two but that generally, FWB stoops when your child is less than 7 years old and peaks when your child is 18+. Though slightly lower, the overall results are consistent among divorced parents as well.
