The Custody Revolution: Father
Custody and the Motherhood Mystique
Richard A. Warsh
Warshak contends that the
"motherhood mystique"--a widespread belief that women naturally make
better parents than men and are more important to their children
than fathers are--often leads courts to give custody to the mother
in a divorce settlement regardless of the father's wishes or her own
situation. A Texas psychologist, he argues that we must revise this
outmoded way of thinking and take into greater account factors other
than the parent's sex in awarding custody.
