In the Family Courts, what sort of percentage split do we see when it comes to mother vs father custody?

Is it 50/50 in this day and age of equality?In the Family Courts, what sort of percentage split do we see when it comes to mother vs father custody?
Unless the mother is incompetent or unwilling the children should be with the mother. This is the law of nature. I have a child, I am a single mother. My child's father has a key to our house so he is able to visit any time he wants to, I've even allowed him to have his own room in my house, but I will never ever allow him to take our daughter to stay with him at his home. He left the family home, that destabilised her enough. I want her to see things carrying on as normal so far as is possible, so there will be no ';my Weekend, your weekend'; in my family.





I carried her, I gave birth to her, I stay home with her every night, I look after her when she's sick, I don't give up the fun times (weekends) to her absent father. My way or the highway!In the Family Courts, what sort of percentage split do we see when it comes to mother vs father custody?
Nowadays the courts try to lean towards shared custody, be it half a week each or termtime/holiday split. The courts consider the welfare of the child as being paramount and will look at where the child is schooled, with which parent any siblings reside, the wishes of the child (if old enough) as well as the quality of parenting.





In reality, when I was practising it was usually the mother who gained custody, or it was shared custody if all things were equal.
it is normally in favour of the mother however if you can prove the mother is unfit and that you as a child's father can provide a more beneficial part in the child's life then the father but in majority of cases the mother would have to be really bad to consider her unfit and turn the child over to the father





very well put zannah
i have no idea





but from personal experience i have seen children lose contact with their fathers through the pure vindictiveness of the mother





the interest of the children should always come first , and this is what the courts try and do





whether they get it right or not is another question
in terms of equality startistics should show a 50/50 spit however, after studing A-Level Law I am more inclined to argue that the split is closer to 80/20 in favour of women although this gap is starting to deminish.
I have no real information on this but from observing the other children at school I would say that about 90%+ of the separated parents its the mother that has the children.
we see a percentage split based upon the judges reasoned decision of the children's perceived best interests
90% to women 10 to men ,,, so much for equality
The world has ever been and never will be equal for all
