It's likely you are misinterpreting the situation. The husband feels estranged from the family, most likely because of a toxic combination of the wife unfairly taking the majority of custody of the kids, and the husband fkrced to pay alimony or child support, in a situation where he isn't at fault, but the local laws favor women over men with custody and blame.
I do Open Source Intelligence for histage location, but on ethical grounds don't go after Amber Alerts and fathers taking off with the kids, or run away teens, after having grown up in a very broken home with a crazy single mother who always managed to exploit the law, as countless other women did growing up. I've seen too many amber alerts where the kid was just with the dad, trying to keep their kid safe from their mother. A judge lacks moral authority here because they just enforce the law, they don't legislate, and they are willing to enforce some very sick stuff for a paycheck and social prestige. And I definately do not want to drag some poor runaway teen back into a abusive household. So these categories are usually too murky and unethical to push.
Now some guys are indeed just uncaring Aholes. Just like women. Women have laws aiding them in being evil. Bad men, I think in equal number to bad women. A bad guy is in a better position however to beat his wife or kids due to natural size and strength. Many women find a away despite theur physical disadvantage. In the area of ignoring kids and dodging responsibility, women take the lead easily. It's alot easier to get on welfare as a single mother or a wife than it is for a single father, and a woman can get away with staying at home in a nasty dirty house, ignore her kids, use drugs with her welfare checks. Guys don't have this opprotunity as much. If they are married yeah, but you don't see many men as aingle parents raising kids, staying at home or doing part time jobs. The system isn't set up for them. We are a very sexist society that irrationally favors women by default in many regions.
