the mother that has changed over the
0:24
years and by our statutes now there is
0:26
to be no presumption whatsoever
0:30
based on gender now certainly if a child
0:33
is very very small and I have seen
0:36
divorces where folks are getting divorc
0:38
right after a child is
0:40
born and uh fathers are going to have to

0:47
older before you start talking 5050 time

0:51
supposed to be any presumption one way
