Actually, it isn't, in my opinion, heavily biased towards mothers. It just so happens that 99% of the time, when father and mother separate, the mom has the K*D(s) and the dad happily let her have them. What is most difficult is changing the initial set up. The courts want to keep the Ch*ld's home life stable so unless the mom is super irresponsible and there is documented (not hearsay) proof of such, the Ch*ld will stay put with mom.

The situation is the same in the opposite being that if the dad had initial custody.

I always tell fathers who are concerned about their K*ds and "say" they want custody to get the K*ds from day one. Coming back later to get the K*ds is near impossible without a pile of proof that demonstrates she is purely without a doubt unfit.

Yeah, right. Try getting wages garnished from a woman who refuses to pay her court ordered Ch*ld support.

Women are currently allowed to predate on unwary men. The woman can swear she is not capable of bearing Ch*ldren, is on the pill, wants to "feel you" so please don't use a condom or use any other ploy to get your seed and you are responsible. Even if she admits to having emptied a used condom into her little poosie to get preggers, and as soon as she is PG, she has all the power. The man has no say in whether or not she carries the Ch*ld and has little chance of getting custody even if she is a completely irresponsible bottom-feeder.

In Washington state, a man has one year from the time that the woman names him as the father to contest the issue, even if he has no knowledge that he has been named. After a year, he is the "father" and responsible for 18 years of support even if DNA testing proves he cannot be father and even if he never even had relations with her. It is her word against his and he loses just by the fact that he didn't contest it until he got the first demand for payment...after the year allowed to contest has past.

Also in Washington state, if you live with a woman and her offspring by a previous relationship and you occupy the "role of father" you can be held responsible for their support even if you never had relations with her and none of the spawn are yours.

Yeah, it's a real level playing field.....

You got to take the gloves off!Defacs are as good as tits on a boar. I went against my attornies advice and quit paying support. I put on a suit and tactfully visited CSR and went and introduced myself to the judge that would be putting me in jail for non payment. CSR said "we will see you in court" the judge was a good listener and said he admired me for what I was doing but said he would have no choice if I didnt pay. He told me to make arrangements with a bondsman so I could buy myself some time and wouldnt actually stay in jail 1 night. My K*ds mom overdosed on pills the week of my cout date. I was waiting for the courthouse to open the next day and got temporary custody of my son and his little sister.
