- There's a guy (I left his name at home) from the National Organization
- of Men, who is trying to get Massachusetts to release statistical
- information on the number of paternal custody awards, verses the number
- of uncontested divorces with kids and the number of contested custody
- divorces. Needless to say, the state is not cooperating. He claims the
- real number of paternal custody awards here is closer to 1% than the
- 10% figure cited nationawide. That wouldn't suprise me.
-
- The trick is in gathering the data when the state has a vested interest
- in keeping it from you.
