[email protected]?how can we find the stats for Ohio for child custody awards in divorce?
I was able to locate a report from the US Census Bureau that provides some
nationwide stats on custody and support. I've put a copy on my
non-custodial parent resources page.

The report shows that fathers receive custody less than 16% of the time
nationwide. That number has been pretty constant since 1993. So much for
gaining any ground in the last decade.
If anyone finds a link or file that they would like added to the page, let
me know. Knowledge is power.

?how can we find the stats for Ohio for child custody awards in divorce?
I thought that it would be easy to find the information you wanted on the
Internet but not luck yet. I did find on article that was interesting
though.
http://www.menweb.org/throop/custody-divorce/studies/whoGets.html
It gives stats on who gets custody based on what the parents want (based on data collected in Arizona.) What I found most interesting is that men
request joint custody 74% of the time and sole custody only 15% of the time.
Mothers, on the other hand, want sole custody 70% of the time. When the
father wanted joint custody and the mother wanted sole custody, mom won 77% of the time.
This data is over a decade old. It's pretty sad that the stats seem to be
pretty much the same today.
