Can anyone give me a hint how to practically deal with children born out of wedlock? To list the unmarried parent as “spouse” is utterly confusing and I have not found any way to “create” parents for a person other than marrying them.
“Spouse” in RM is really a label that give wrong impression. It does not apply there was a marriage. You can set the labels of each parent. You do not need to have a marriage fact. They were simply a “couple” that had child/children. If there were never married --just had a child that is fine – you can clarifying details with notes

Of all the prior instances where somebody (here in the forum) has questioned the use of “spouse”…
…nobody has ever put forth a substitute that could garner support as a better default.
