So who has it easier?

  The woman being in labor is irrelevant. It doesn't matter that she suffered through all of that, when you're deciding custody of a child their well-being and future is at stake. I wouldn't shift a major decision towards either side just because one person was a balloon while the other person just had to put up with her mood swings, food cravings, and other irregular behavior.
  I mentioned that the mother was crazy. As in threatening her kid to make sure she "behaves." Screaming at the dad for pretty much every reason she could think of. This is an example from within my family. I was actually accused of practicing black magic and attempting to break up her perfect little world. Apparently, that's the only reason I would play with my little cousin.
  And saying fathers don't have parental instincts is also discriminatory. There are people who have much higher views of their father than their mother, and it's not that uncommon. They may not pamper their kids or watch over them like a hawk, but that doesn't make them any less of a parent.

  
  
  Did the father prove evidence of this craziness to the court?

  How exactly could he? Are tape recordings court admissible?

  I would assume so. Having a psychologist check the wife might help as well.

  What if she's a good actor and passes all tests?

  That's not what I was talking about.
  
  Those cases are the more uncommon cases ._.
  
  What I'm talking about are fairly regular parents that just fight too much or don't get along anymore, so they file for divorce. Like a parent from my art class.
  
  Typically, the mother is the one with the stronger maternal instinct because they were the one that bore the child. It's not the time they spent pregnant, it's the nature of a mother. A father doesn't feel a physical bond like that with their child. They may have other bonds and hell, they might be stronger, but the maternal bond will always be with the mother.

  Then you can't really say the court favors women over men in custody battles in this case. If the woman was able to fool the psychologist, she's probably likely to fool the court as well.

  In that one case perhaps but generally the court usually cedes custody to the woman more often than not. There's even an organization for the rights of father's that was made due to the many times this occurs.

  She's not actually insane, so a psychologist or other doctors wouldn't have proved anything. Testimonies from our side of the family along with the child herself should have been sufficient enough, though I'm not sure how the actual trials went down since I wasn't there. A better way to describe her would be a huge b----.

  That's not any different at all. Obviously my uncle liked this woman, because she seemed normal at the time. Then they started fighting, not getting along, and filed for divorce. Exactly what you said.
  
  And mother's have stronger maternal instincts, because that's the definition of the word. Fathers have paternal bonds with their kids. Also, have you heard of sympathy pains? Even though the father isn't carrying around the developing child, they can still have very strong bonds with their soon-to-be and wife.
  
  A father may not constantly hug and kiss their little baby, but that's just because men typically aren't as emotional as women. But that doesn't mean they care less, or that they're less connected.

  I love every second of being a man. I don't see a single thing women have better. My manly voice commands others and I rule my professional life with an iron fist and a heart of gold. My emotions are stable and calm, I never lose my cool head. I feel and express nothing but happiness and loyalty, showing anger only when absolutely necessary. My huge testicles pump the mightiest hormone there is to my bloodstream, they enable me to grow muscle and feel motivated at all times. God f[FONT="Arial"]u[/FONT]cking damn it's awesome to be a man.
