[quote=Anonymous]As a divorce attorney, I have seen fathers get primary custody only in three circumstances: (1) Mom doesn't want custody (used to be unheard of early in my practice, but now, in my 23rd year of practice, roughly once a year, I come across a mom who doesn't want custody). (2) Father is a stay at home dad or works very little and has been the kids' primary caretaker for a long time. (3) Mom has severe and documented mental or substance abuse problems. If the problems aren't documented, the man will need a slew of witnesses with nothing to gain (so, for instance, kids' teacher but not dad's meddling mom who is eager to edge out biological mom). I have never seen a man get primary custody against an involved, normal mother who is fighting for custody. The most he can hope for is 50/50.[/quote]
