If a man truly wants custody and is willing to fight for his children he can and will win (Get joint custody, or managing conservator) over 70% of the time. A majority of men, like yourself have already assumed they will lose and therefore don't put up much of a fight. I didn't know this fact until my attorney informed me when I won my custody battle.
If the mother is a good mother and the children are young (under seven years of age), it is usually considered more desirable for the children to be in the primary care of the mother. Otherwise, many states have statutory ages whereas the child is empowered to decide which parent he/she wishes to primarily reside with. No decent parent should ever settle for anything less than joint-custody, if they love their children and wish to be a significant part of their children's lives.

Because there is still inequality between the sexes and it's seen that women are 'supposed to' have the kids and men are 'supposed to work'. That means, when the father and mother are great or at least both are adequate parents or abuse cannot be proven, it's more likely that the societal gender biases will win and the mother will get custody. Is it fair? No, not at all.

i understand your question....but that doesn't mean the mother is always the best for the children. my husbands x wife is not the best for the child--but the courts found her to be the one, and of course she would have fought it tooth and nail. she even had her mommy come to her divorce court date to support her. now this mother has been known to frequent the bars get drunk and even has a DWI.. but still the courts found her to be the best parent.
imagine that. my adivce is to get a tough bull dog type lawyer and you must find all the dirt and court records on this women you can so degrade her in front on the judge.
you could possible win custody. now if she come to court with out a job like my husbands x did and you have a job then it makes them the home parent and you have to work. sounds crazy but this whole divorce/child support issue is OUT OF CONTROL. good luck to you.

Well, the normal think is that a child wants its mother....just a natural thing....but I do have to say I have seen some cases where the father did get custody of the child. This is just a hard ball to toss around.

I don't believe that a mother's bond with her child is any greater that the father and his bond. Different, yes..stronger, no. I think that the court system has not caught up with modern relationships,ie:mothers work just as much as dads, dads can be just as involved in kid's lives as moms.

Because mother's tend to be the primary caretaker. From the moment they are in our belly's till they are old enough to leave the nest MOST of the time it's mom that they want when they wake up in the middle of the night, we take care of them when they are sick, along with most of the parent responsibilities. Not to say that fathers don't do their part, but the bond between a mother is almost inseparable.

Most judges feel it's more important for the child to be with the mother, I personally don't. I hate it in fact that you have to prove negilent before the child can be placed with the father.

It is generally still accepted that the female is the nurturing one. You must make sure your lawyer is willing to fight for you to get custody. Sometimes the children are old enough to express their desire to stay with one parent or the other.

the only way the father gets the kids is when the mother is unfit to take care of the children. sorry. but odds are the father doesn't fight it, doesn't leave with the kids at the time of separation.
