Do the Courts Always Side with Wives Over Husbands? ⠀ There is a shared misconception that the Courts favour women's interests over men in family law proceedings. ⠀ This could not be further from the truth.  When making decisions in regards to property and parenting matters, there are many factors that the Courts have to consider and a party’s gender is not one of them. ⠀ One of the leading factors that drives the Courts' decisions is the child’s best interests. Other include contributions made by each party, as well as future needs.
