- FrontierPsych 4y agoIf they have children, then in a divorce, in 95% of the cases, they do not get custody. They see their children 2 weekends (4 days) per month instead of every day. This is the single reason that I never had kids. This would kill me. Courts almost never award custody to the man, no matter what. Plus, the man has to pay alimony for life, and child support for only 4 days per month for the money. The kicker is that the women does NOT have to spend child support on the child. She can spend most or all of it on herself if she wishes, as long as she feeds the kid peanut butter and jelly every day, gets them to school, and doesn't physically abuse them, then she gets to spend all the child support on shoes, trips, whatever she wishes. IF SHE WANTS TO DO THAT. Not saying all women do that. So, that's why married men don't want children.
