Do you read any of this stuff you post? This source contradicts several of
the positions you have taken in the past.

For instance you have stated women get custody because they are recognized
as the primary caregivers. This article says states have changed their
custody laws and replaced the primary caregiver custody standard with the
best interest of the child custody standard.

You have stated fathers don't want to care for their children. This article
says pressure from men's groups have caused changes in custody decisions and
men are still concerned the best interest of the child custody standard, as
applied by judges, is nothing more than a disguised version of the old
primary caregiver standard.

You have stated a father's primary role is to pay CS. This article says
fathers play a significant caretaking role within the intact family and
fathers should have an expanded role in the children's lives after divorce.

You have stated children are much better off with their mothers. This
article says children feel a sense of sadness over the lose of frequent
contact with their fathers.

You have stated fathers run away and ignore their children. This article
says 25% of children of divorce see their father at least once a week, and
only 10% haven't seen their father in the past year.

You have stated judges make appropriate custody decisions based on the facts
at the time the parents separate. This article says judicial education is
needed to enable judges to understand the developmentally-sensitive visiting
and custody plans for children of different ages and to adjust custody and
visitation plans based on the children's ages.
