The conduct is not specifically included in the act as grounds for seeking a divorce. The conduct is taken into account when the best interests of the child are being determined in order to establish parenting arrangements after the divorce. The term is, however, included in the definition of family violence, which is used to determine the best interests of the child.
For example, if the judge determines that the situation involves coercive and controlling behaviour, the judge could decide not to let a parent have contact with the child.
