Notes:	General Overview: This article is a response to the report ‘Allegations of Family Violence and Child Abuse in Family Law Children’s Proceedings: A pre-reform exploratory study’ prepared by the Australian Institute of Family Studies. Discussion: The author comments on the findings and conclusions of the AIFS report in relation to the veracity of allegations, issues of safety for children, typology of violent behaviour, and the number of family violence cases as a proportion of total cases before the courts. The author concludes that the report provides evidence that challenges misconceptions and supports the call for different paths through the legal system for families where violence is alleged.
