When you look at th3 way fathers are treated the man has higher stakes. Someone at work I knew his wife left him for an affair taking their son but if he ever dated she stopped him seeing his son, another father sent presents for his kids recorded delivery so she signed for them only for her to t3xt saying she threw them away and told the kids he didn’t send anything.
Hilarious. I’ll counter that with these stories.
Man A working cash in hand so he doesn’t have to pay CS
Man B moving interstate so he doesn’t have to deal with the responsibility of raising his children.
Man C starting his own business so he doesn’t have to pay CS as he *makes a loss *each year.
Man D going on Centrelink (welfare) so he pays the minimum CS (around $30 p/month regardless of how many children),
Point is there are horror stories from both sides but research indicates that women* are much worse off than men in a divorce = higher stakes.
*raising children

Now, I’m not suggesting that men get out of divorce scot free - they don’t, Ive read research that suggests they are more affected by psychological impacts. However women are more likely to suffer financial hardship, and are at greater risk of homelessness than men due to child rearing responsibilities after a divorce because their capacity for employment is severely impacted.
