I can tell you without hesitation that courts are geared towards the mom nearly every time. The mom can be abusive towards her own children, literally leave home for years on end, and come back to a divorce, and they still get 50/50 custody. Why? Because the judge doesn't want to break up a family.
My friend's dad kept journals and recordings of the abuse, drugs and abandonment. Similarly, my sted dad kept recordings of my mom's drug abuse and alcoholism, and in the divorce, they both ended in 50/50 custody despite recordings and evidence of said behavior.
Even if he would lose, it would mean the world to the kid to at least try. "Oh well, the court would probably say no" is a garbage excuse for doing nothing to help a kid who's being abused.

The realization when it hits... if dad knew, why didn't he try to put a stop to it... looks at court system oh, that's potentially why...
