DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, ABUSE, and CHILD CUSTODY: Legal Strategies and
Policy Issues
Co-edited by Mo Therese Hannah and Barry Goldstein 2010

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, ABUSE and CHILD CUSTODY brings together experts
from the US and Canada for a multi-disciplinary review of the most up-
to-date research and recommendations for handling, domestic violence
custody cases. The book's 25 chapters are written by those in the
know: judges, lawyers, psychiatrists, psychologists, sociologists,
journalists, domestic violence advocates, and others intimately
familiar with the details of these cases.

These diverse experts approach the issue through the lens of different
disciplines and professional experiences. Although they may not agree
on every point, they do agree on at least one thing: that the family
court system in this country is broken.

For more than two decades, protective mothers from every state in the
country (as well as overseas) have been ordered to turn their children
over into the care, and even the custody, of the children's abusive
fathers. This occurs even when there is adequate evidence of child
abuse, domestic violence, and other harmful behaviors on the part of
the father.
