prospects don't appear to be too bright.
Recent efforts to encourage more joint custody arrangements under the legal
guidelines of "what's in the best interest of the child" have largely failed.
And, some lawyers feel while social trends may be changing for the better,
recognizing the important role of the father, legal trends are not keeping
pace.
