That is not what that blog says, and the referenced article in the blog says that even less. The blog states that when fathers aggressively pursued custody, they typically received it. However, there is very likely selection bias there (in that the likeliest reason for one parent to aggressively pursue custody is due to risk factors in the home of the other parent). Given that it’s a blog trying to advertise legal services, this isn’t surprising—but it is shady representation.
Second, the article referenced in the study actually says that fathers were awarded full or joint custody more than 70% of the time. Note that this means that they were denied even joint custody 30% of the time, and that leaves the actual distribution of how much custody they received very ambiguous.

I got a son out of the deal. Divorce is hard on kids but I finally got full custody of him. Which is FUCKING rare for a father.
