In this day and age, you would believe that fathers would have an equal shot at child custody in instances of divorce. Unfortunately, that is not always the case, and in many instances is far from the truth.
Statistics show that in between 70 percent and 90 percent of divorces involving children, the mother is awarded custody, with visitation rights awarded to the father. If that wasn’t enough, fathers are assigned child support that, lacking research and real world facts, either they have trouble paying and/or pay at the expense of a standard living and ability to prepare for the future (including his children’s futures). All of this under the umbrella of “the best interests of the child.”
