Having a single parent in a work isn't uncommon in the slightest. If a character's Missing Mom or Disappeared Dad is explained as being a product of death or Parental Abandonment, though, it's unusually likely for the single parent to be paired up with another character by the end. This can be used to resolve the lack of spouse and parent in one swoop. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This will often be a sub-plot within a story, often with the children as main characters. The character may intentionally be looking for a spouse/partner throughout the story, but this often isn't the case. The popularity of this trope may lead one to assume that anytime a widowed parent appears, they will be paired off in the end. If there are two single parents whose children are friendly it's doubly likely. May involve a plot that features Parent with New Paramour, though those cases are not always for the children's sake. Contrast Glamorous Single Mother, who makes being a single parent look easy. Compare Give the Baby a Father, which is when a pregnant woman gets married so she won't be a single parent in the first place, and Marry the Nanny, which a single parent might do because the employee already has a good relationship with the kids. Compare Winning Over the Kids. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Examples: |

In And everything's gonna change, now., Heterosexual Life-Partners Raven and Chelsea get married. However, their marriage is not related to any romantic feelings. Neither just wants their children to be motherless if anything were to happen to them. As the story goes on, they realize that they're not as heterosexual as they thought. | |

The Aristocats: O'Malley says that the kittens need a father around, but it's more of an indirect way of telling Duchess he wants to be with her than him genuinely believing they do. Duchess agrees, but at this point, her attraction to O'Malley has been very well established, so it's more of a "remarrying for ourselves, but won't it be great for the kids?" type of thing. (The kittens' lack of a biological father is never mentioned or explained.) | |

Daniel's wife dies at the beginning of Love Actually, and he is forced to raise their child alone. By the end, he is paired up with another woman, be this is an unusual variant of the trope, considering the son is his by marriage. | |

In the second Deverry book, a middle-aged widower marries a woman who was divorced by her husband for barrenness because she needs a new home and he needs a wife to help raise the children from his first marriage (whose existence means that her inability to conceive children isn't an issue). In the following book, she gives birth to a son, which causes a great deal of political difficulty, because it implies that her first husband was the sterile one, which means that his lands could be up for grabs once he dies... | |

In Rocket Power, Raymundo Rocket (the father of Otto Rocket and his older sister, Regina "Reggie") has raised his kids as a single parent since Otto and Reggie's mother, Danielle, died when the two of them were very young (like, too young to really remember much about her). Raymundo ends up getting remarried in the Series Finale to a woman named Noelani, who's a cousin to his close friend, Tito, and had also been close friends with Danielle when she was alive. | |

In Fill the Void, the protagonists live in a Hasidic community where widows and widowers are expected to remarry to give their kids another parent. This one kicks off the plot, as a recently widowed man considers marrying a foreign widow, while his mother-in-law suggests he marry her youngest daughter so her grandson won't be raised by a stranger. | |

David Copperfield (1993) features this. Clara's own words were that Mr. Murdstone was "Just the man to give David a proper upbringing." It's at least implied that she wised up because she made a new will leaving everything to David rather than her husband two days before she died from her illness. The implication is driven home by David early on when he frustratedly states "Mother doesn't love him. She thinks I need a father. That's why she married him." | |

The case for King Leopold (Snow White's father) in Once Upon a Time. He's very much still in love with his late wife Queen Eva, but when Regina saves young Snow White from a charging horse, he offers her himself as Standard Hero Reward, thinking that someone who would risk their life to save his daughter would be proper stepmother material. Of course, Regina's social-climbing bitch of a mother, Queen Cora, is gleeful about this. (It's also possible that, given Leopold's history with Regina's mother, he was trying to get Regina away from said social-climbing bitch) Regina really wants to marry a stablehand instead, but Cora tricks Snow into leading her to the stablehand, which gets him killed. Regina blames Snow White instead of putting the blame where it belongs (leading to Regina being the Trope Codifier Evil Stepmother), and proceeds to take out her anger on everyone, including getting Leopold killed. | |

A major plot point of Nanny McPhee is Cedric Brown's necessity to get remarried after his wife's death, due to pressure put on him by the children's Great-Aunt Adelaide, who threatens to stop the allowance supporting the family if he does not marry by the end of the month. By the end of the movie, he marries Evangeline, who the children all love. | |
