Domestic Violence
Family violence is defined within the Family Law Act 1975 (FLA) as violent, threatening or other behaviour by a person that coerces or controls a member of the person’s family or causes the family member to be fearful. It can extend to physical, sexual, emotional or psychological abuse. It can include behaviour such as restricting access to money, to family members or to cultural support, or limiting social independence.
It is important to address this following separation and particularly when children are involved as exposing a child/children to this can be regarded as child abuse.
