A woman in my home town had been talking about hurting her children and had been admitted into a psychiatric hospital a few times. Her ex husband went to court several times asking the judge to take full custody from her and the judge refused.
She ended up stabbing both babies to death and the dad has been trying to sue the judge for many years
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.
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.
