How many fathers are successful in gaining primary care of children?

On this very subject in October 2019 the Australian Institute of Family Studies undertook a study into parenting arrangements after a separation in relation to fathers.

It was found that 3% of separated parents use Courts to determine parenting arrangements. Alarmingly of that 3%, arrangements where children spend most of their time with their father are more common in orders where legal action has occurred (around 10 - 19% of cases).

Sadly, this study shows statistically fathers should be in Court if they wish to pursue primary care of children.

To the world you are a dad. To your children you are the world. - unknown
