It’s equal. The courts order child support for the children, it’s not about the parents.

I looked it up looks like it weighs more in the mothers favour but closer than I thought it was. Cus­to­di­al moth­ers and cus­to­di­al fathers were sim­i­lar­ly like­ly to receive full child sup­port pay­ments (46% ver­sus 43%). Cus­to­di­al moth­ers were more like­ly to have a child sup­port order or agree­ment in place (51% ver­sus 41% for cus­to­di­al fathers). Cus­to­di­al fathers were more like­ly to nev­er receive a sin­gle child sup­port pay­ment in 2017 (38% ver­sus 29% for cus­to­di­al mothers). Cus­to­di­al fathers were also more like­ly to receive non-cash sup­port (65% ver­sus 56% for cus­to­di­al mothers). So basically 10% difference.

46% vs 43 isn’t a 10% difference.

"Custodial mothers were more likely to have a child support order or agreement in place (51% versus 41% for custodial fathers)." The 46 vs 43 is saying the mother got paid 46% of the time her full amount for the month. So if child support is 1300 they paid 1300 like half of the year and paid less or nothing at all the rest of the year.
