Should fathers be given the same chance as mothers to gain custody of their minor children?
YES. Fathers have equal rights to their child just as the mothers do. Mothers should not automatically get sole primary physical custody just because they are women. The family court system in the states is starting to lean towards this. Hopefully it will not take 50 years and umpteen kidnapped children.

What percent of women win child custody cases?
That's interpretive as there are four levels of custody. Sole Custody Joint Legal with Primary Residential Joint Physical Custody Bird Nest Custody Fathers with primary or sole custody runs 15%. Joint physical custody runs 25% Mother with primary or sole custody is 60% But, single mothers have sole custody by default in 100% of the cases until ruled on otherwise by the courts. Also, attorneys tell fathers not to try for custody as they don't win, and most attorneys that do try are not fully capable of representing fathers, so the mothers win. In the cases where fathers do challenge for custody, 60% of them will be accused of child sexual abuse as a tactic by the mother to prevent him getting it, but even when successful, they can still lose as 30% of them learn they are not the father of one or more of the children. If he does win custody, he can than be accused of domestic violence committed some time in the previous 12 months, as which point an injunction stops him from getting the child until he can prove himself innocent. If he does prove himself innocent, or it was found that he defended himself when she attacked him, then he cannot have custody because that's still considered domestic violence against the mother.

Why do women get sole custody rights over men?
Background:It's not a matter of courts "siding with the mother". There are reasons why mothers are more often granted physical custody of young children.Up to and through the early twentieth century fathers were typically favored by law for child custody if the marriage ended. That custom gradually changed since the courts had to acknowledge that the mother was the primary care giver and she should keep raising the children in their tender years. That presumption gave way to the best interest of the child doctrine in the 1970s. It is a fact of family life that mothers usually provide the day to day, primary care of their children even if they work outside the home.Today many fathers take an active role in raising their children. If the father was the primary caregiver then he should be considered for primary custody since caregiving should be the main qualification for awarding physical custody along with a healthy, stabile and safe environment. Fathers who have taken an active role in caring for their children are getting custody more often. A father who wants custody must consult with an attorney who specializes in custody issues who can review the situation and explain the father's rights and options.Generally, shared parenting is the best possible solution. Fighting over custody often has other motivations at its root such as wanting to hurt the other parent, wanting to maintain control and wanting to avoid paying child support. The mother is often the target in custody battles and those battles can set the stage for years of legal wrangling.
