The statistics for single parents don't state how many of them are supported financially by the other parent. 'Single' doesn't necessarily mean you have had a child on your own, the parents could be divorced or widowed etc.

Then you always have the problem of statistics being biased or manipulated to suit the purpose. You can never be sure what the situation is really unless you do your own research and most normal people don't have time or the means to do that!
