Whisky Tango Foxtrot?!

Well it took you a long time to disagree, but you never refuted my personal observation that more dads walk away from kids than moms.
You made a great deal of correct observations but they didnt refute my thought.

Now you make a great point that moms are given an unfair advantage in child custody cases. But if anything that supports my original point - in function that encourages dads to walk away since they are not directly caring for the kids.

I disagreed partly, but it looks as though I did a poor job of identifying where and what.

The first point I disagree with, since the "runaway dad" is not confined to low income absent fathers. Courts use an escalating scale of "punitive child support" for increasing income level. :angry:

As to the second point, I disagreed with a single point cause and effect relationship.

That minor disagreement turned into a point of departure to cover points not embodied in your post. In retrospect, it was not a refutation, it was disagreement with using simplistic cause and effect premise. The stats, I think we can agree, skew the numbers to "more dads running off" but the root causes (multiple) of that include the lack of equity in the court system, incentivizing divorce over marriage healing, as well as the, sadly, too common exercise of departure by irresponsible men.
