I was looking at this page on the site: http://www.deltabravo.net/custody/stats.php titles "Divorce and Fatherhood Statistics "

My questions.

1. Are these true?
2. The sources listed are pretty vague, If these are true I would like to read the sources for myself but I cannot find them using the sources as listed.

I am presently preparing a motion that will demonstrate and substantiate an Equal Protection violation by the state of New Jersey in the way it enforces its laws but I need better, more importantly, accurate sources of information.

Please help me if you can.

I am concerned with verifying these particular items.
