A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Mark D. Hodgson examines how Washington State courts handle child custody cases involving domestic violence.

You'll learn about:

  • What actions qualify as domestic violence under family law
  • How courts evaluate a child's safety when violence is present
  • Restrictions that may apply to parents with a history of abuse
  • The role of protection orders in custody proceedings
  • Supervised visitation options and how they work
  • Evidence requirements for proving domestic violence allegations

Mark explains that courts prioritize the child's safety and well-being above all else. If one parent has committed acts of violence against the other parent or the child, this significantly impacts custody arrangements. The court may limit parenting time, require supervision, or in severe cases, restrict contact entirely.

Washington law presumes that a parent who committed domestic violence should not have sole or joint custody. However, this presumption can be overcome with evidence of rehabilitation and changed behavior.

This episode provides practical information for parents dealing with domestic violence situations and helps clarify what to expect during custody proceedings.
