Tip of iceberg. I'm a divorced father of two sons and lucky enough to have a position that gives me some (not a lot) of flexibility in work schedule. The Courts, as many divorced fathers will say, haven't heard the news about the ever increasing decline in the 'Dad Job'. In my state thousands of men are in jail for non-payment of child support because the 'Dad Job' isn't available in this state.
Progress toward the agnostic treatment of men and women in raising children, providing for the household, and making a home is still far behind the reality in most (not all) Courts, despite claims to the contrary. It took most of my net worth to ensure my presence in my kids lives would be regular and meaningful and to ensure child support reflected my former wife's multi-million dollar net worth.
Perhaps a level playing field is emerging as the 'Dad Job' declines, I don't know. Its of little benefit to the tens of thousands of men in the United States whose reality is of no concern to anyone.
