Being married or not doesn't mean mom and dad will or won't be thereI grew up in NY. I've been around rich folk with kids.
They have everything in the world but are a total mess because mom and dad aren't there giving them what actually matters in life.
There are happily married couples who are absent in their kids lives or abusive. and there are also happily divorced couples co-parenting their kids just fine.
a marriage certificate doesn't make you a good parent, or ensure your child has a good upbringing.
