Child custody in Domestic Violence Situations

This site, http://www.childcustody.org/childcustodyorgdiscussion/viewtopic.php?t=1978, has some very interesting posts. It should give victims of Domestic Violence something to think about if there are minor children involved when the violence occurred. As noted by at least one poster, her abuser plead down from Domestic Violence to Disturbing the Peace. As a result, the mother ended up going through a child custody battle and didn't have the necessary convictions to prove that the abusive parent shouldn't have custody. This post is not intended in any way to be legal advice for anyone. It's just something I thought I would mention. Once a relationship becomes violent, rarely does the violence stop. It typically escalates and the relationship becomes more dangerous over time.
