The Equal-Custody Experiment | Kentucky’s law making 50-50 shared custody the standard was hailed as a victory for fathers’ rights and helped bring down the state’s divorce rate. Critics say it also puts mothers and children at risk.

You just have to love this bullshit. There’s nothing but good in the way of stats in this article, but the people against this, instead of using statistics that point to increasing problems (apparently because there’s none), indict all men because there are some bad apples. Yet they completely ignore the bad apples on the female side and we know for a fact there are many.

There’s an entire industry which has dedicated itself to destroying men, men’s rights, and more so father’s rights. And just so people are aware, 50-50 presumptive custody has been the law in many states for decades now, Florida is an example of one.

Many of the Kentucky law’s detractors are quick to acknowledge that dads often struggled in custody hearings before the new mandate took effect. They agree that a more equitable division of parenting labor is a noble goal. They’re just not sure a presumption of shared custody is the best way to do it. They worry, too, about the dire cases that seem to be slipping through the cracks.

Did these critics say anything when the old system put fathers and children at risk? No? Then they can shut the fuck up and fuck right off with their hypocrisy.

Strange how they focus on mothers being abused by fathers, when the abuse is frequently bilateral.

Be careful here. We had the presumption of 50:50 custody in Australia for a short time, but feminist academics and legal scolars quickly created data that suggested all contact between children and the father was abusive and violent. Now the presumption of 50:50 custody is gone, and more than 80% of children live with the mother, many never able to know their father at all.
