I know so many men who have fought for custody of their children. All of them have won at least joint custody. And in all cases, a strange thing happens after their win: They begin complaining that the custody system is biased—a system that worked to get them the outcome they wanted.

The data paints a different portrait. No matter how you assess family court proceedings, women are at a substantial disadvantage, and men who fight for custody almost always get it.
Men don’t want to parent their children until they get divorced
Mothers spend roughly double the amount of time per week caring for their children that fathers do, and this figure does not take into account indirect care, like packing lunches and emailing about play dates. An equitable family court system would base custody awards on the time parents actually spend with their children.
A fundamental disruption in the child’s life and expectations to serve a selfish father, however, seems to be the main goal. States across the country have moved to make joint custody the default. So a man can invest almost nothing in his kids, force his wife to do free labor for years (all the while insisting that she’s just better at it), then do an about face and take his kids from their primary caretaker and use the child custody system to ensure that all the free labor she’s done for him for years puts her at a long-term economic disadvantage.
Men rarely seek custody of their children
Men do less childcare, less parenting, less household labor, less of everything that is involved in tending to a child. So it should come as no surprise that this does not change after divorce. In 91% of custody cases, the parents mutually decide to give custody to the mother. Fathers fight for custody in court in less than 4% of divorces. Twenty-seven percent of fathers completely abandon their children after divorce.
Men who seek custody are more likely than not to get it
Fathers who fight for custody typically get it. Even 30 years ago, 94% of fathers who sought custody got sole or joint custody. Abusive fathers are especially successful. Seventy-two percent win their custody cases. In one study where both parents fought hard for custody, mothers were awarded custody just 7% of the time. Only in a patriarchal society does a 93% win rate somehow equate to male victimhood.
Courts happily place children with documented male abusers, and women lose custody when they report abuse
Dozens of children have been killed by abusive fathers; hundreds more women are eventually murdered by abusive ex-spouses. Despite this, family courts tend to discount even extreme cases of domestic violence. In one review, researchers found that, even in cases of proven, documented violence, family courts aimed to maximize children’s time with fathers, disregarding the danger to children.
Mothers pay more child support than fathers
