31. Why should they always win?

Men do not seek custody all of the time. In the cases, where they do, they win more than they lose.

Every person who "loses" a custody battle (and that may mean they did not get everything they wanted) claims family court was unjust. People in these situations mistake justice for what they want. They want the court to validate their feelings, not decide what is in the best interests of their child.

I have seen these things happen. Many people let divorce bring out the worst in them. Merely because they say it was unfair does not mean it was. It means they didn't get it the way they wanted and nobody put their ex in the stocks. They expect the judge to punish the ex, and mistake that for the neutral, just result.
