Custody and Domestic Violence

Safety first!
If you think someone may be monitoring your device, you can:
• Watch the OIC from a friend’s device instead, delete the website from your browser history, or watch it in an incognito window. Learn how on TechSafety.org.
• If you are logged into your UA-cam account, log out before watching.

We discuss how judges might consider domestic violence when deciding custody, limits that can be put in place to protect the abused parent and child, and the relationship between custody cases and restraining orders.
