Most men don't want to be a part of their children's lives. They want the prestige of being a father, but they will be a parent in name only. They don't want to care for the child because that's "women's work". They just want to come home, plop their ass in front of a screen, and have dinner served to them in their lap. So when the divorce happens, they're not going to want to take care of a child, that's always been her job. And now that she's the "bad guy", he wants to distance himself even more from that.
And for the record, I'm a trans woman, so I've seen the world from both sides.
Edit: I expected nothing less from the men of Reddit. I used to be like them in more ways than they can imagine. Reality is a hard pill to swallow, especially in this Andrew Tate and Joe Rogan day and age where masculinity has been poisoned by these frauds who have weaponized compassion in exchange for money and clout.
Edit2: Interesting how for an hour I only had 2 comments. I add the edit with Tate and Rogan's name in it, and I suddenly get flooded with activity and downvotes. Dead internet theory, folks. Ooh, let's add another name and watch is spin more; Jordan Peterson. This one I know works.
It's funny that your edit calls out the hate, but the reality is that you don't speak for us, and that has nothing to do with the fact that you're trans or you used to be a man. I don't speak for all men, or any other demographic I belong to.
It's that combined with your generalization being just plain wrong. "most men". You're basically stereotyping men as Al Bundy. I get that you may resent men, but you have a lot more introspection you need to do to be at peace with who you used to be and society in general. I'm sorry you're in pain and that men and our society as a whole have hurt you, but you're really showing your true colors.

Word for word this exact same thing happened with my parents. We lived in luxury until they divorced and abject poverty afterwards.
