So would you disrupt the continuity of care pattern that a child was used to if it meant primary-time custody to the father, in conflict with your presumption of maternal superiority?

How would this nation, families, and the social fabric be different if childraising was primarily done by fathers in nearly all cases?

If the mother were "criminally unfit" (including physically abusive) or adulterous, then my answer is: Absolutely! Just because a child was used to a particular pattern of care does not mean that it was the best.

As a side note: Even when parents remain married, patterns of care often change when circumstances change.
