What statistics? This is how the divorce court systems work. If you have a winnable case then divorce lawyer will represent you for free.
You keep saying you don't have statistics. Well, I do.
This is for the UK:
Experiments in Living: The Fatherless Family
Children living without their biological fathers:
Are more likely to live in poverty and deprivation
Children living in lone-parent households are twice as likely to be in the bottom 40% of household income distribution compared with children living in two-parent households (75% versus 40%).
Are more likely to have emotional or mental problems
After controlling for other demographic factors, children in lone-parent households are 2.5 times as likely to be sometimes or often unhappy. They are 3.3 times as likely to score poorly on measures of self-esteem.
Among children aged five to fifteen years in Great Britain, those from lone-parent families were twice as likely to have a mental health problem as those from intact two-parent families (16% versus 8%).
Among children aged five to fifteen years in Great Britain, those from lone-parent families were twice as likely to have a mental health problem as those from intact two-parent families (16% versus 8%).
Have more trouble in school
After controlling for other demographic factors, children from lone-parent households were 3.3 times more likely to report problems with their academic work, and 50% more likely to report difficulties with teachers.
It goes on and on...
Girls from lone-parent households were 1.6 times as likely to become mothers before the age of 18 (11% versus 6.8%). Controlling for other factors did not reduce the comparative odds.
At age 15, boys from lone-parent households were twice as likely as those from intact two-birthparent households to have taken any drugs (22.4% compared with 10.8%). Girls from lone-parent homes were 25% more likely to have taken drugs by the age of 15 (8.2% compared with 6.5%) and 70% more likely to have taken drugs by age 18 (33.3% compared with 19.6%). After controlling for poverty, teenagers from lone-parent homes were still 50% more likely to take drugs.

I could go on, but it would seem like filibustering.
I am not sure. Different things. I know my dad taught me things my mother knows nothing about, and the reverse is also true. I got a male perspective and a female perspective. It shaped who I am today and I think that is valuable.
I won't ask you again. Do not put words in my mouth.
