FAQ
Mothers historically have won more custody battles due to traditional roles and perceptions of mothers as the primary caregivers. However, this trend is changing as courts increasingly focus on the best interests of the child, considering many factors beyond traditional roles.
Still, full custody for fathers is far less common than full custody for mothers. Whether this is due to bias against fathers is a hotly debated topic. Overall, many courts prefer awarding joint custody to both parents.
These are some mistakes you're going to want to be mindful to avoid. TALKING BADLY ABOUT THE OTHER PARENT TO THE CHILD. FAILING TO TAKE ON CHALLENGING TASKS. NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THE OTHER PARENT. TRYING TO MAKE YOUR CHILDREN FEEL SORRY FOR YOU. PREVENTING THE OTHER PARENT'S ACCESS TO THE CHILDREN.
In fact, on the national average, a female parent is granted around 65% of custody time, whereas a male parent receives around 35%. Blogs covered in this blog: Numerous States award shared custody, with both female and male parents each granted a full 50% of the time with their children.
The best arrangement for a child is to have both parents living under the same roof. But barring that, joint custody is best. Half and half living arrangements. The child shouldn't lose one parent. It will screw them up for life. From one who knows.
