DA, but:

"a substantial percentage of fathers who would prefer sole or joint custody do not actually request such custodial arrangements. See id. While over thirty percent of fathers want sole custody, fewer than forty percent of those men actually sought sole physical custody. See id. Likewise, roughly thirty-five percent of men would prefer joint custody. See id. at 99. Yet, over half of these men request sole maternal custody, or make no request at all"

A quick google didn't bring up a lot of info except for census data and such, which doesn't really help in determining how many men actually file for custody.

With respect, that's a paper from 1998 that seems to be getting all of its data regarding custody claims from two books also published in the mid-90s, so if nothing else I'm not sure I trust it to be up to date. I'm also not sure it's doing what I'm looking for - it has some information o the number of men who choose not to file custody claims, but not on how much of the gender imbalance that accounts for. Thanks for linking it, though. I'd love to see a more recent study if original!anon had something else up their sleeve.

(I'm also interested to note that according to one of the later citations, the author of one of the books the paper is getting its stats from apparently thinks that men choose not to submit for custody because of the cultural belief that men should get custody; not sure whether it matters either way. I suspect that someone who felt that it was an issue would probably make that argument, as well as arguing that the bias of the courts means that men who want custody don't submit for it because they know they'll lose or because they want to avoid a long drawn-out legal battle for the sake of the kids)
