RELATIONSHIP SINS COST

Divorce and out-of-wedlock childbearing cost U.S. taxpayers more than $112 billion a year, finds a study funded by the New York-based Institute for American Values, the Institute for Marriage and Public Policy, Families Northwest of Redmond, WA, and the Georgia Family Council. The $112 billion estimate includes the cost of federal, state and local government programs, and lost tax revenue at all levels of government.
