The problem is thats not always true. The system leans heavily in favor of women.

In the overwhelming vast majority of cases, both the mother and father agree that the mother should have primary custody. In those few cases that are contested (less than ten percent), judges tend to keep children with their primary caregiver, which is their mother in the vast majority of cases. This does not equate to being biased in favor of women.

"In other words, 91 percent of child custody after divorce is decided with no interference from the family court system. How can there be a bias toward mothers when fewer than 4 percent of custody decisions are made by the Family Court?

What do these statistics tell us?

1. Fathers are less involved in their children's care during the marriage.

2. Fathers are less involved in their children's lives after divorce.

3. Mothers gain custody because the vast majority of fathers choose to give them custody.

4. There is no Family Court bias in favor of mothers because very few fathers seek custody during divorce."

The 91% who give up custody probably do because the courts heavily lean in favor to the woman. Meaning a lot of wasted money and time all for them to not have custody. The proof is in what you said yourself. For the 9%-10% that do go to court, they stay with primary caregiver which is usually the mother. Also, if we are talking about the courts leaning heavily in favor of the woman, only the custody battles that go to court usually count. If you want to count the settlement cases, you can. But those seem to go well for the mother, too...

But some of the other posters said some of the things I wanted to say. Probably shouldnt just repeat the same things over and over...
