N2  - This book emphasises that domestic violence is a core component for consideration in child custody and access disputes. 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. Chapters that address the aforementioned factors in a New Zealand context include "Changing Legislation and Legal Practice to Recognize Domestic Violence in Child-Custody Proceedings" and "From Theory to Practice: The varying responses of the court system to domestic violence in child-custody cases"
