When divorce occurs and there are children involved, all to often a custody battle ensues, and sometimes a nasty one at that. Statistically, 5 out of 6 custody battles end with the mother obtaining custody of children under the age of 21 while 1 in 6 fathers end up with custody. This equates to about 15 percent.
Now, imagine if the mother was unfit. Imagine if the cause for divorce and the battle over custody of the children was due to infidelity on the fathers part. Suppose for a moment that either side is introducing the children to unsavory individuals.
