They got joint custody until we turned 18. It is not biased- it just depends which parent is more financially stable and psychologically stable to take care of children.

In fact, in most cases, courts grant joint custody to parents. Albeit, frequently the mother is the residential parent. Fathers can be very involved if they chose to be.
