Frankly, I still believe that the current court system still heavily favors the mother in custody agreements (with the father having access.... but we all know how THAT works in a LOT of cases)... and the father paying child support and the mother pays nothing..... even if the children DO spend a significant time with the dad (but their primary residence is with the mother).

I just hear too many cases out there where the fathers get screwed, to believe otherwise..

It would be hard to estimate - most custody arrangements are worked out without litigation. The people that go to court really don't understand what harm they are doing to the children.

Support and access are seperate issues, and should not be tied together.

Parents should be forced to learn about the legal and social conquences of separation before they have children.

For every father that is "screwed" there are probably 10 mothers with deadbeat exes.
