    You can easily google these figures. I just have to say that courts lean in the favor of the fathers in terms of joint custody. When a father wants joint custody, he is likely to get it unless he is a drug addict or has been guilty of violent crime. Many fathers don't want joint custody, but if they do, they get it. Too many children are being raised by grandparents because their parents are either not interested or not capable. It's an influence of drugs on today's society. But I don't think it's 1/3.

    Actually they are all not true.

    More than 70% only have a MOTHER in the home.

    Blacks rarely ever have a father in the home

    And NONE live with their fathers very long because the system won't allow that.
