address the fact that being a woman does not grant the mother more rights than the father in the custody of children.

It is often believed within our society that mothers are more nurturing, loving, and giving when it comes to the rearing of children. This notion is predicated on generations of mothers staying at home with the children while the father went off to work and support the family. While this may have been the case not too long ago, times have changed and fathers want to be just as involved with their children as their maternal counterpart. However, the fact remains that the time, money, and energy to obtain joint parenting time of a child through wedlock becomes tedious and burdensome without any gains in time with their children. This is why joint custody of equal time share needs to be granted to both parties as women are no better suited to raise children as men are.
