Myth #1: Women are favoured over men by the courts and judges.
One concern we hear from our male clients is that women tend to come out ahead during a divorce proceeding. They believe that the courts and judges favour women over men regarding spousal support, child support, child custody, and access.
While it was common for courts to award custody to mothers in the past, it is not the case today. Courts and judges today have taken a neutral approach to decide matters that must be litigated upon. In some cases, fathers are the custodial parent, receive child support, or even spousal support.
In general, the outcome in a divorce largely depends on the evidence and facts presented in court, how the law applies to that particular situation, and ultimately, what is in the children’s best interest.
