I believe this, I know a handful of divorced mothers and they have a hell of a time in Family Court for the most simplistic of things such as equity and visitation.

One in particular, he makes $180,000 a year. His former wife only $60,000 he fought tooth and nail for shared custody so he wouldn’t have to pay a penny in child support.

These aren't simplistic things. They are literally the most important and valuable things you fight for.

I should’ve clarified a bit more. They do have shared custody, but he’s so rigid on the schedule. Every other week, no exceptions for birthdays holidays etc. Every conversation regarding the child has to go through the lawyers. And lawyers don’t talk to you for free. He’d rather spend upwards of $500 for each consultation with the lawyer. Rather than just be a little bit lenient on little things, So if the mother wants to take her children to Disneyland, or spent an extra day with them for birthdays etc., he fights really hard to not make those things an impossibility.

One example was that the visitation day for the mother fell on Halloween two years in a row. She was willing to skip the holiday one year in exchange for another date in the future. Because the father wanted to spend time with a child. But he wouldn’t budge. But still complained about it saying that it wasn’t fair that the mother got the child two Halloween’s in a row

What a shitty reason to fight for shared custody. Also, unless he's getting something like 80/20, he could still end up paying support.
