For those of you who don't know what that is it is a doctrine that was abolished because it was sexist against men regarding child custody.
On the issue of Gender Biasedness in family law they claim it is agaisnt the mom. There is a reason that the majority of moms have primary custody and dads have every other weekend and that is because it is the exact opposite of what NOW claims.
NOW also says: 'Despite the perception that mothers always win custody cases, studies show that fathers who contest custody win sole or joint custody in 40 to 70 percent of cases.'
I thought that the majority of cases were settled without court ruling, so this small percentage of cases in which dad contests and win 50/50 or full custody must have been contested for a good reason. Maybe mom is a psycho. I guess NOW will not be satified until the Tender Years Doctrine is placed back in effect which give mom full custody 100% ofthe time.
