Are Divorce Courts Anti-Dad?
Despite a shift toward shared custody over the last 20 years, up to half of
fathers lose contact with their kids after a divorce. "In 85% of divorces,
fathers get just two weekends a month and a couple of hours during the
week," says Mike McCormick of the American Coalition for Fathers and
Children.

A new legal trend might change that. With "proportional time," explains
Jennifer Rosato of Philadelphia's Drexel University School of Law, "the
custody decision is based on the time dads spent with their children before
the divorce, rather than presuming that dads have, and want, limited
involvement with their kids." But McCormick says dads still could get
shortchanged: "What happened in the past with a family doesn't represent
what will happen in the future." He says that supporting your kids is about
more than money, "but courts want a check first and a relationship second."
--------------------------
At the moment, it's nearly 2-to-1.. in FAVOR of dad's getting more time with
their kids.
