I don’t know about this. When he says single-parent families aren’t because of fathers abandoning their children, I don’t think that’s true. I work with children from broken homes in my church ministry. Most of those kids don’t even know their fathers, the men never married their mothers in the first place and they left when the woman got pregnant.
Sex before marriage is responsible for a lot of this problem, not just custody decisions. Even when there are divorces a lot of these men are “deadbeat dads” and it’s like pulling teeth to get them even to spend time with their boys. I agree about it’s too easy to get a divorce anymore and I think that is a bigger problem than bias by custody judges. The parent who cares about their family more, no matter whether that’s the mother or the father is always the one who suffers from this, as well as the children. The parent who doesn’t care just punishes the other one and spends their time and money on themself.
And if BOTH parents care about the family (kids) 'more', what then? What if the father is as close to the kids as the mother?
Everyone suffers, in the case of divorce, but men are punished more for it.
