| dc.description.notes | The prevalence of child abuse and domestic violence during and following<br/ > <br/ > parental separation makes the family law system an important, albeit<br/ > <br/ > often unrecognised and poorly integrated part of the child protection<br/ > <br/ > system (Brown and Alexander, 2007). Yet changes in family law over<br/ > <br/ > the past decade have created a problematic context for women seeking<br/ > <br/ > protection for themselves and their children from domestic violence after<br/ > <br/ > separation. This paper presents some findings from a study that explored<br/ > <br/ > the experiences of women who were involved in post separation contact<br/ > <br/ > between children and former partners who had been violent. The findings<br/ > <br/ > reveal both the debilitating effects of living with perpetrators’ ongoing<br/ > <br/ > efforts to exercise power and control, and the ways in which the women<br/ > <br/ > resisted these tactics and worked to increase the safety of themselves and<br/ > <br/ > their children in a context in which their struggles to achieve safety were<br/ > <br/ > often unrecognised and unsupported. | en |
