| Women are leaving their husbands and find themselves in a legal battle to keep custody of their children. These mother's have no idea that their lives will be turned upside down, trying to get away from an unloving man. Child protective services are removing children from mothers when the father is not involved in the child/children's life. |
| Mothers going through this situation feel as if they are alone. There are no support groups and very few counselors are educated on how the system works in favor the abuser. Out of all divorces, 80% are uncontested custody cases, and the mother is the primary care giver to the children. Those 20% that are contested cases, the abusive father will gain custody 72% of the time. "Studies show batterers are able to convince authorities that the victim is unfit or undeserving of sole custody in approximately 70% of challenged cases." (American Judges Association) (Custody Preparations for Moms Organization, 2006) "Fathers who batter mothers are two times more likely to seek sole physical custody of their children than are nonviolent fathers." (APA 1996, P, 40) (Custody Preparations for Moms Organization, 2006) |
