Funny, the mothers are only important in kids lives are always quick to spew their garbage disparaging the importance of kids having two parents, not just one and a child support check.[/quote]

50/50 is presumed in most areas (not all I think, but most). If a dad wants it, he will get it (barring extreme circumstances). CS is not automatic, but based on the parents' incomes.[/quote]

In some areas not all and often it’s a fight. [/quote]

Everyone I know who is divorced has 50/50, except a few cases where the other parent did not want to parent 50% and chose a lesser percentage.[/quote]

hahahah!

How many men are actually doing that? Men don't do half the work.  (Well, maybe there's a FEW. But only a few.)[/quote]

As I have stated, at least in my state, 50/50 is 'presumed' in divorce/custody. That's what it will be unless the parents agree to deviate (which some do). Almost all families I know that are divorced do 50/50 and the dads seem to do what they are supposed to do. My ex does (and stop making me defend him haha).[/quote]

Its very state specific and a mom can easily scream abuse even if there is none and get far more.[/quote]

This simply isn't true. You sound like you don't have any actual experience in any recent times, with this.[/quote]

Yes, it is.  You live in a dream world if you think the courts are fair and equal.[/quote]

The majority of divorces never see a courtroom, the parents agree to a parenting plan and the judge signs off. 50/50 is typically presumed, unless the parents agree to deviate from that. NOBODY gets to go into court and 'scream abuse' and get handed full custody. For that to even be considered, there would have to be documented abuse, ie, police reports, cps, ect. And even all that doesn't always make a huge difference.[/quote]

Sure, keep in your dream world. Sharing custody only works when both parents are rational and reasonable and most aren’t.  [/quote]

Give us a number. What proportion of divorces do YOU think go to a courtroom?[/quote]
