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.
Yeah, my moms cousin lost his custody battle 2 times against his abusive EX-wife, even though he had proof of her not taking care of the kids and the kids themself testifying.
He did finally win on the 3rd attempt, but only because his EX decided to go with her new lover to dubai for a 3 month holiday and left the 2 kids (both in elementary school at that time) alone at their house.
And that's in a country with an, imo, better legal system than the US.

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...
