“Resolved” is a fun way of saying the court likely drained the father of all resources and forced him to quit trying to save his daughter.
Let's not pretend that a lot of fathers don't pump and dump women and take no responsibility for their children as the deadbeats that they are.
A lot of fathers don't, that implies a majority, there’s only one demographic in which that is the case. Men are stripped of their families by default and have to fight near impossible odds to even get shared custody. The system is designed against men from the get go, and was done so intentionally.
It doesn't imply a majority, but yeah, that one demographic is worse on this score.
I know it's orthodoxy here, and I believe there's a core of truth to it, but is that really true? Folks defending the system claim that most men don't even ask for custody, and that this explains a large part of this. What do you say to that?
Every case I've seen resulted in some sort of shared custody arrangement, unless one parent was a deadbeat. HOWEVER. I have seen both parents try to get the other disowned or whatever you call it unfairly. So, fight, yes. It's a fight. "Near impossible odds". Nah, the odds of getting some custody are in your favor.
HOWEVER, courts do go out of their way to bankrupt men with child support even when they're the half or primary caregiver. Which then often ends up with them in a position not be able to maintain a nice home, and then Mom says they will be better off in the house she kept.
I've even seen men forced to pay for arbitrary women's lawyer's fees. The court makes no provision for a lawyer for the man, but if a woman claims she can't afford one, they do something.
That is the core of truth I think. The more money you have, the more likely you are to be able to get a fair deal. And of course that's relative money vs Mom too. She can pay more lawyers, etc, in extreme cases.
