When it comes to Rosie and her new husband...wife...well which is it?

I think the word you're looking for is "spouse".

This is an important factor! Husbands have certain rights, obligations.
So do wives!

Which are basically interchangeable.

If they raise children, who will be the father? The mother??

How about "parent"?

(The father will have to pay the child support after their divorce.)

That's not always true.
