Indeed. If both go for custody, it tends to be joint. but most fathers don't attempt for it, hence mothers getting it usually. Infact, some studies found that when a man does go for custody, he is more likely to get it than a woman!
Also, family courts tend to go on who does the majority of the childcare also. Like, in my case if me and Gavin split up , and we both went for custody, he would 100% get main custody while I got visitation..fairly sure I wouldn't even get joint. As I do next to none of the child stuff due to my illness. I would not even go for custody actually as I would be utterly useless without help.
