For thousands of years women have been the primary caregivers for children and men have been the providers. It is only in the last century that both sexes have been able to do both jobs at once. And not everyone can do a good job of it. It's going to take more than a few years to change society's idea of what is "best". And right now there are too many dead beats out there for the courts to take a risk on every dad simply because he is a dad. It's sad that a father has to "prove" he can be a good dad, but women have had to "prove" they can be providers. it's not fair, but it's life.

billiechic, you need to come into the 21st century. What you are talking about happened in the 60's and 70's when very few if any women worked. Today there is no designated "provider" and there are more women with careers in Canada than men. Despite "equality" of the sexes there is still rampant bias in the Courts towards women which has NOTHING to do with the facts on any case.
