+237 It's wrong that a man can leave a woman while she's pregnant but when they have a child, the man can fight and win custody of the child, amirite?

From what I have seen women usually get custody.

Considering the fact that in a majority of custody cases the mother wins simply because she's the mother, if the father wins the court battle than he clearly deserves custody of the child.

If you're bringing up "Who can have the kid?" to court, you don't love the kid. 'Nuff said. The kid should choose who he/she likes best.

If the kid's only just been born, i don't really think they'll be able to choose which parent they want to be with, let alone express their choice. The kid would have to be at least 4 or 5 to even be able to make a choice properly, so who gets the kid for those 4-5 years?

That's retarded. The kid will usually choose the 'fun' parent. Even if they're irresponsible and unemployed.

Okay everyone chill. I said the father CAN get custody, it doesn't mean he usually doesn't or vice versa.
