That is how it is here anyways. With a joint custody arrangement (which is almost always what is done as long as both parents are compentant) he has the right to call the childs school to check up on school work, request that two report cards are sent out and can be regularly updated. It appears that the mother has total control because sometimes the guys just bail and have no interest in knowing these things, but if a guy actually wanted to put in the effort of being a dad, he can be.

That's a rather naive opinion. That's working on the basis that Family Courts are not corrupt, unfair or biased - which is wrong.
