I feel men get the raw end of the stick when battleing it out in court.I know I could probably be a crack head and still keep custody over my kids doesnt matter how good the father is.Only thing that matters is money.

Feel very fortunate that you don't have my court order. No, the men don't always get the bad end. In fact my ex-husband won residential custody of my youngest two kids, (twins) aged 10 years. I live in Montana and he lives in Washington. While the kids were young he really wanted nothing to do with them and he worked while I stayed home with them. One day I had enough of Washington and my ex-husband. Well, I left and took the kids along with my other kids from a previous marriage. I came back to Montana and started a new life and filed for divorce. He pretty much left me with the kids and we didn't bother to make up a custody agreement. Well, the kids were going to start 1st grade and he came to Montana and asked me if it was ok to take the kids to Washington and visit for a few weeks and he would bring them back before school. I agreed because we never had any prolems before. BIG MISTAKE! He never brought them back and he went and enrolled them in school and filed for full custody. To make a long story short he had more money than me and had many people on his side lie for him. No, I was never considered unfit, as I had my other kids living with me. Anyway, one day he came to Montana to visit and only gave me a short visit in a parking lot for 15 minutes. Since I knew he didn't have a permanent court order yet, while he had his back turned, my teenaged daughters grabbed the twins and we drove off. I kept them here for a short time but was served papers to appear in court and I had to give them back to him. That coniveing Ba$%@rd went and lied again and told them that he had them the whole time. I had no documented proof. I ended up in Washington in a very dirty court battle and in the end because he was male and had more money and he lived in Washington and the judge was male, HE WON! Even though he had two separate court orders which showed his lying, he still won. He got full residential custody and I get summer vacation and some holidays throughout the year and phone calls. This was a very expensive and very distressing time for me. I have to drive to Washington to get them and he provides the transportation back. The kids are just a nice big tax return for him. We all miss them here so much but what can a person do that is not rich? I became a born again Bible believing Christian and I pray everyday that God will bring them back to live here where they belong.
No, the men don't always get the bad end, sometimes it is the women.

It is too tied up in emotions. That is the problem. Men want to get even, women want to get even and what is in the middle is the most important, the children.
There are simply no easy answers.
I've seen woman make out like bandits and men end up on skid row to the other way around.
There is no "one size fits all" answer. Everyone is trying to screw each other and the lawyers have a vested interest to keep it all going.
God I hate lawyers, that is till I need one, then they become my best friend.
Sucks!!
Peace

If the guys are devout and open minded they will provide ladies their complete rights, however a few are sexist, egocentric, ignorant and hungry for vigour. Thats no longer an Egyptian factor however a human factor. Yes, I'm dealt with similarly to a targeted factor. I paintings, gain knowledge of, speak, move out, journey ...and so on similar to the guys.

I've seen cases of both sides getting hosed unfairly. I've seen men getting custody because they married the chick they cheated with, and I've seen women get custody because they "stay home"
I think the biggest problem with the system is that there are no rules, its all up to the whims of the courts.

I think that a lot of times men get utterly screwed in custody cases...but then again, I think some men care and some don't, whereas women always tend to care.

Ya hear men pissing and moaning all the time about this, but all I know is that when divorce happens, men's standard of living improves and women's decreases. By a lot.
