| Notes: | Drawing upon US research conducted with 62 female victims of domestic violence and 95 children exposed to violence, this article attempts to dispel some of the myths associated with the perceived impact of domestic violence in child custody proceedings. The findings of the study and their implications are contrasted with common misconceptions – for example, that children are not harmed unless they suffer direct physical abuse. The ways in which these misconceptions can threaten safety and reduce perpetrator accountability are highlighted and the development of improved legal and practice responses is advocated. |
