I've never been married, but I've talked to a few divorced men who got their kids, here's my advice; get the best divorce lawyer you can. You may have to spend an arm and a leg in the short run, but in the long run, you'll come out ahead compared to if you try to cheap out.
I got my kids. I got a lawyer but they pretty much just formatted a case I prepared.
The main thing to remember is that the court doesn't care about either of you, it cares about the kids. If you have physical custody, keep them in school/programs, and maintain their social relationships, you have a much better chance to get a good deal.
Most guys I hear about who get "screwed" don't bother about the kids and just keep working. It's better to quit a job than lose your kids.
I see a presumption of joint custody, but what I did see was a lot of women lying about the men to steal custody. They'd say he was an alcoholic (with any amount of truth to it), did drugs, hung around bad people, or worse.

dunno, but don't give up hope. there's good women out there, the tricky part is weeding out the crazy ones when you're running on horny juice, lmao.
Ironically enough, the best way to weed out women is to turn their tactics around and shit test them.
my point being you need to be able to think clearly enough to recognize red flags through a haze of hormones, lol
