Thank you for the question.
I can't say enough about that, especially in the small amount of time we have, but you're absolutely right. Removing the physical danger is step one. Tied with that has to be access to supports, including supports like shelters for women and children, so that work can begin to address the trauma, which often can last for years and years, leaving that woman vulnerable to ongoing abuse by the partner even long after she's left the relationship.
That speaks also to what needs to be involved in judicial education. Judges need to understand that just because she moves out, or he moves out, that doesn't mean the abuse has come to an end. It continues. It often escalates. It becomes increasingly lethal, and it becomes more psychological.
The impacts of all of that on the woman—and as you said, on the children as well—have to be matters that judges understand clearly and that they take into account when they're making decisions about parenting arrangements that can find themselves in place for years and years if the children are very young.
