You heard him folks, men are the most oppressed minority in the world and we always get the shitty end of the deal. Feminism is either a joke or a femspiracy to push down the man and further disadvantage him in courts. Never mind this official report of the Florida Supreme Court (just to give a high-population US state report) that examines whether the 'gender bias' of the court system exists or not. You will be surprised to find (I was too as a guy on reddit) that while they concluded that the bias does exist, the twist was that it was a bias in favour of men. Surprise! It's funny how the system is biased in favour of those who run it, right? Consider some choice bits:

a1. Men customarily retain more than half of the assets of the marriage and leave with an enhanced earning capacity. The remaining family members are left with less than half of the marital assets and a severely diminished and declining earning capacity.

a2. A homemaker's contributions of time and energy, as well as the opportunities she has foregone, often are minimized by Florida's courts. Many judges are especially reluctant to acknowledge that these contributions are a genuine resource of a marriage.

a3. Post-divorce families headed by women are the fastest growing segment of those living in poverty.

a4. Older women whose marriages end in divorce are most likely either to have abandoned their own aspirations or to have devoted their lives to furthering their husbands' careers. They are not adequately compensated by application of the present system of alimony and equitable distribution of marital assets.

b1. Women who lack means are routinely denied their statutory right to retain competent legal representation. Without competent counsel, women are critically disadvantaged in enforcing their right to alimony, equitable distribution of marital assets and child support.

b2. Many lawyers will not represent women in divorce cases because women generally have fewer economic resources and therefore cannot afford the fees.

e3. Many judges fail to award permanent alimony, preferring instead to use the vehicle of equitable distribution. Yet, because men usually have a greater earning potential, women are disadvantaged by "equitable" distribution when martial assets are too slight to provide sufficient income.

e4. In equitable distributions, men generally receive sixty-five to seventy-five percent of the marital assets compared to twenty-five to thirty-five percent for women.

f3. Contrary to public perception, men are quite successful in obtaining residential custody of their children when they actually seek it.

h1. There is little consistency in child support awards, even among cases involving similar facts.

h4. The judiciary often fails to incarcerate parents who ignore child support orders, even when they have the ability to pay. Judges too often decline to impose attorney's fees, court costs and interest at enforcement hearings.

EDIT: Anyone think that criminal courts are different from civil divorce courts? Here is the full list for criminal courts findings:

Women and men tend to commit different types of criminal offenses.

Women tend to commit economic crimes. Arrest patterns show an increase in female arrests for economic crimes.

Women involved in violent crime generally act with a male companion, or against someone who has physically abused them or their children.

Frequently, women incarcerated for homicide have been victims of physical and sexual abuse.

Women convicted of crimes have fewer opportunities for rehabilitation, training and treatment throughout Florida . There are currently only two maximum security state facilities for women. Minimum security inmates thus must endure conditions designed for maximum security inmates.

Some women's facilities fall below the requirements for exercise facilities and, in any event, are not comparable to those provided for men.

Women generally are imprisoned for less serious offenses than their male counterparts but have significantly limited access to alternative programs or rehabilitative treatment. Men have programs and alternative treatment centers throughout Florida.

In the county jails, overcrowding in the male population results in men being released. However, there is less overcrowding among women inmates. As a result, women serve longer sentences than men who have committed more serious crimes.

Women have limited access to trusteeships and work release programs in comparison to men, thus restricting the availability of early release for good behavior.

Women sentenced to work release by the courts nevertheless are often incarcerated because of the lack of work release programs or the shortage of openings in similar programs for women.

Women unable to participate in work release programs lack the opportunity to gain useful work experience. This results in less successful reentry into society after incarceration and more time spent incarcerated than similarly situated male offenders.

Men are favored in experimental and alternative programs around Florida.

The remote location of some jails for women restricts family visitation, access to counsel and information. In short, please, just stop circlejerking about men getting fucked over in courts. These are the official state supreme court reports, not some MRA blogger ranting against feminists. I actually work in law myself, but immigration law, so I can only speak for the cases of women being shafted in immigration courts. But it happens just as much in immigration courts - hell, a lot more because women in other countries often do not enjoy the high societal standards of living that women enjoy in the US. That being said, we still have a long way to go ourselves. 'Mens Rights' is a great idea but only if it doesn't come at the expense of actual rights for the actually oppressed. My feelings on MensRights advocates is that they mostly came for the complaining against feminists and how women have too much supposed power in courts and such. This stuff only hurts actual needy causes.
