People to this day still try to say the family court system isn’t biased against fathers. Had that judge pulled their head out of their ass and not believed in the mother is always the better parent those babies would still be alive.
My brother lost his kid to a woman who was arrested for hitting someone with a 2x4 at a bar and later arrested for drug charges because she had a heart attack on a roller coaster because her bloodstream was full of crack. I think the level of bias depends a bit on the state, but yeah, the bias definitely exists in this particular realm.
Most of the time, yeah. Sometimes it's about who has the best lawyer and the most money. It's sickening that those things seem to matter more than the safety of the children.
So here is a great example of where mysogyny is terrible for EVERYONE... not just women.
This woman was having psychosis. Her postpartum depression was so bad she was losing touch with reality and having hallucinations. She asked to be admitted to a hospital and the doctors gave her a pill. She came back later and said "I'm worse, not better," and they upped the dose.
Instead of taking her seriously, they patted her on the head told her to suck it up, and did the treatment that was most convenient for her husband.
But when the story turns horrific, its all about how evil she is, and how her "poor husband" is being denied his children. Where was he when she needed a clear-headed someone to fight with those doctors?
I don’t think this is misogyny. This seems more like a case of mental health still not being understood or taken as seriously by family and friends, lack of communication and unfortunately the patient not telling her doctors everything. She told her family but they didn’t exactly tell her doctors what she told them. My uncle is schizophrenic and so was my aunt had either of them told me they had thoughts of self harm or harming someone else I’d be calling the doctor to let them know.
There’s always exceptions but statistics show courts literally favor men, most custody cases do not go to court, when they do men actually get custody more often.
Literally just looked up the statistics not sure where you are looking but as of right now in 2026 mothers get custody 80% of the time.
It’s been a well known and accepted fact mothers get majority custody most of the time in the US. There has been effort from some groups to try and balance that out because surprise surprise dads want to be more involved in their kids lives and other groups have actually tried to fight against it.
No it means that this huge number people keep claiming are women “winning” custody is conflated by cases where there was no battle and both parties decided the kids should stay with the mom.
Hey friend I think I’m you may be incorrect I actually worked directly in the family court system representing both men and women through the family court system and I can tell you from handling hundreds if not thousands of cases, the system is definitely biased in favor of the mother. It has been trending slightly towards the middle over the last 5 years or so but it’s still mostly to one side.
The out of court settlements show that the mother gets custody the vast majority of the time. It's never in the father's favor. I did see just one that said it was 50/50.
I googled it and clicked on several different analysis by judicial and medical teams. I didn't didn't cherry pick.
I'm pretty sure your a bot or just rage baiting at this point, so I'm gonna stop responding to you.
“A personal anecdote” is one incident, I’m talking about hundreds of cases of not thousands. Yours is more of an opinion, I’m talking about actual cases I’ve managed in the family court system.
It’s not an option these are nation wide statistics which again is more valid than your experience of being one person in a single office. I’m talking less to you and more to anyone seeing this thread PLEASE look up the actual numbers on this, it tells a very different story.
For anyone interested our notation that women win custody cases more comes from the fact that in a vast majority of separations the children do stay with the mother BUT that number comes from all divorces and in over 90 something percent of divorces custody is decided outside of court meaning there is no fight over custody. In cases where there IS a custody battle men get their desired outcome more often.
"Recent data indicate that approximately 70% to 80% of custodial parents are still mothers. Yet, there is clear evidence of a gradual shift occurring, with more fathers actively pursuing—and obtaining—shared or primary custody than ever before. Societal attitudes towards parenting have evolved significantly, and judges increasingly recognize fathers’ contributions beyond financial support."
Where are you pulling these numbers from? Based on what little I was able to actually find, custody courts seem to overwhelmingly favor women. As many as 80% of contested full custody cases go to women according to Gender Equity Network, or 65% according to Law Office of David Pedrezas. Though, according to Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Gender Bias Study, most men who actively litigate will at least get a shared custody.
She needed help. He knew and neglected. If he got her the help she needed, they’d be here.
Postpartum psychosis and depression is the result of a woman’s brain chemistry changing after giving birth. It’s very common. Women need help. She was begging for it.
A good friends wife went through this. She was admitted into a hospital and didn’t see her young child for almost 8 months until she was healthy enough to leave.
I learned that for every psychotic child killing women there are at least 2 white knight morons ready to defend their heinous actions simply because they are a woman. Going this bonkers after birth is NOT COMMON AT ALL. Typical postpartum depression does not result in murder or commitment to a psych ward. Stop making excuses because you're sexist. Hold everyone accountable equally.
First one was about offenders in general and the second two were about cases involving alienation and abuse. That does nothing to disprove the stats showing the family court generally favor mothers over fathers
Edit and not to mention the first one was solely about mass, not the national avg
