That's to say the court still weighs the best interests of the child but the statistics still show that more custodial parents are women.
Even though the articles in this series are directed to the custodial parent, the other parent has many issues that have not even been addressed by this series.
In all fairness, many organizations exist on the Internet and elsewhere devoted solely to the purpose of protecting and upholding father's rights.
If faced with difficulty regarding your rights as a father, speak to an attorney and look at the resources at your fingertips.
Just remember the important thing. Keep things fair and stay involved. Studies show that a father who is more involved with his children can more quickly solve problems with the children and have less problems with the mother, and such 2-parent involvement helps children lead healthy and productive lives. Many children who are in trouble come from broken homes that have little or no involvement from both parents.
Here are some Internet resources for father's rights. Some are national organizations and some are state specific:

In addition, www.nolopress.com and www.divorcenet.com list many books available for purchase that give more resources to help the father level the playground. It is in the best interest of the children to ensure that the non-custodial parent is given equal rights.
