Guess it depends on the situation and person you have kids with. Like my boy is not married but has two young kids and lives with them and his girlfriend. They not married and he doesn't believe in marriage. Yet he loves his kids and will be there for them no matter what if he gets separated from his girl and would even help her out just so his kids don't suffer. They both make decent money. My other boy is married to my friend. Don't know what kind of marriage they got and it must've been thru the courts or something since there was no wedding but whatever. They also have two young kids and she has an older daughter from before. But he works and she barely does, maybe a small part time she doing now but for the most part its him. So if they get divorced he gonna have to end up paying for it. Plus he makes not even half of what my other boy makes and his girl controls all the finances. She basically takes control of the money and I remember a thread in here not long ago about that type of thing. I got love for both him and his girl but if shyt goes wrong then its harder on them then my other boy and his girl cuz of the situation they in. My boy that not married has a great job and owns a home. My boy that is married has an ok job and struggling to pay rent and bills on a monthly basis. Everyone situation different and things can change at any moment in life. But marriage isn't always the best option, but it depends on the person.i never got the longterm relationship but no marriage
you already done once you have the kid and live together
to me you might as well get married
I think him not getting married is like him holding on to his last bit of freedom 
so he won't be in the home cuz dads don't raise kids, but he's willing to take them for long periods of time? can't he just be in the home and step it up for long periods of time like he was planning to do anyways? like weekends+summer he's in charge of kids activities
I would say maybe 10%
