Many times either during a marriage or even if there is no marriage, parties end up fighting over custody arrangements. This leads the court to determine what is in the best interests of the children. One of the factors that the court looks into when determining proper custody arrangements is domestic violence. You have to be mindful that one party may try to bait you into a potential domestic violence situation so that the other person could have a stronger position in the custody battle.
The thresholds for charging an individual with domestic violence are much lower than one might think. On the other hand, if you are a person who is routinely subject to violence in the household, then you need to let the authorities know about this.
