Divorced dads are runaway dads.
Divorce impoverishes mothers and children while enhancing the lifestyles of dads.
Divorced dads tend to get the settlements tilted in their favor. Divorced dads have an easy time, emotionally. Most family breakups are initiated by dads. The most pernicious of these myths, according to Braver, is the one which says that dads tend to prosper as a result of divorce settlements. This myth is based upon a study published in 1985 by then-Harvard researcher Lenore Weitzman.
