520			_aThe author of this article presents legal views on custodial cases where domestic violence is an issue in the parental relationship. The New Zealand Family Court case of Clough v. Greene (1995) is used to illustrate these issues. The author cites evidence that it is in the best interests of the child to have contact with both parents, except when it is contrary to the child's wellbeing. Therefore, the relevance of the violent parental relationship to the child access case is questioned. Case studies are used throughout to support the author's views. The evidence of risk of violence contradicts the Courts' mandate of maintaining a child's contact with both parents. The author raises questions about what effects domestic violence has on children, and discusses supervised access as a means of reducing risk to the child while maintaining contact with a parent accused of violent behaviour.
