<...they have the financial support to leave.>

Is that to leave say "with the man's children" and go off hundreds of kilometers down to the Gold Coast without a court order that permits her to do so and the father not having been given a proper opportunity in court to put a stop to the mother's intentions and/or defend himself against allegations of abuse/violence? If the mother is murdered how does financial support ameliorate her situation?

Fortunately for women absconding with children very few do in fact get murdered. I read that there around 50,000 divorces in Australian each year and around half of them involve dependent children. Given that and the way (in)justice system works, surely one would expect the murder rate of mothers to be much much higher than only 1 or so a week.

Wouldn't it be better to have a much fairer system of justice where, inter alia, court orders are enforced on mothers with stiff penalties for breaches than having children ending up living without both parents?

It's more dangerous than you think being a male. Endocrine Disrupting chemical exposure in this day and age is chronic. Estrogens and organochlorine pesticides have now been found to bind to receptors at a cellular level. Giving even greater toxic effects then the original molecule exposure. This then means that even the smallest exposure poses a far greater risk then thought possible.
Guess which sex this affects the most?
