There was a time, not so long ago, when courts (and divorce lawyers) presumed primary custody should be given to mothers after a divorce. After all, mothers were generally the ones who spent the most time with the children, fed them, bathed them, took care of them when they were sick, and shuttled them to after-school activities.
