Case analysis, assessment strategies and court interventions alter when domestic violence is involved. A number of child custody cases impacted by intimate partner abuse are discussed to highlight the varying responses of the international court systems. Recommendations are made that suggest how to improve policy and resource development, legislation, training and service coordination in this area.
