THE "nuclear family" image of the typical Australian father raising 2.3 children with one life partner is more elusive than ever as households change, new figures suggest.
The Bureau of Statistics figures show that more men are becoming stepfathers, men are becoming fathers for the first time at a greater range of ages, some do not live with all their children, and some even live alone.
But one trend is clear: men living with children still typically perform a traditional breadwinner role.
