I Didn't Marry the State

A father's life is more than a file.



I Didn't Marry the State is Nathan Garrett's unflinching protest song about the promises of marriage, the cost of divorce, and the childhood moments a court file cannot hold.

Drawn from his own experience, it gives voice to anger, grief, legal bills, missed birthdays and bedtime stories, and a father's desire to be heard.

A stark country and blues rock recording with the words at its center.

For listeners who care about fathers, the value of a father's presence in a child's life, shared parenting, accountability, and the human lives behind family-law proceedings.
