Last updated on April 8, 2021

Andres Gomberoff, concededly the brainy type, did what any similarly enterprising guy would do when seeking a solution to a thorny child custody problem: He applied spin-glass mathematical analysis to it.

Last updated on April 8, 2021

A writer in a recent article on family law poses this question: “How did single fatherhood go from terrifying to increasingly normal?” “Normal” is concededly a relative term, but it certainly bears noting that American households with minor children that are run by single dads had increased by a multiple of nine from 1960 to […]
