Today, we live in a world that is very different than that of our past generations. Whether we are in the United States or not we now can see the world changing in more than one aspect. The technology that we use today is completely different than that our grandparents use, which we now fully rely on. Gender roles have completely seemed to dissipate and have now become an equal playing field for almost everyone. However, even though so many things have changed has that of divorce?
As it has been seen in more than one way, women are now at the top of the workforce. From the days that women simply ran the home, picked the children up from school, and had dinner ready by the time everyone was home they are now becoming doctors, executives, and even corporate CEOs that control many of the companies that can be seen everyday. However, one thing that seems to have also changed for women is that of gaining child custody.
Many fathers are now being granted the legal guardian of children today. Women are now focused more on their careers than that of those in the past, and men are beginning to become more and more involved in their child’s life. The number of men gaining full custody has almost doubled in the past forty years. Many studies have been done that show that fathers are now taking up at least seven hours of intimate quality time with their children whether it is throwing the baseball back and forth, or taking them to their dance practice every week.
Most of the time, mothers are not usually willing to split child custody 50/50 with their former husbands, but today men are becoming more and more willing to let a complete split of custody occurring in order for the child to truly have both parents actively involved in their lives. Ultimately, awarding custody should not matter on who the best parent is thought to be, but what the best option for the child is and how it will impact their future.
