“…2004). When IPV is involved, joint custody is more often requested by fathers; mothers seem to have difficulty opposing their former partners' requests, out of a fear that judges may seem them as hostile, uncooperative and bad mothers (Radford et al . 1997; Côté 2006).…”

“…For example, he may not respect agreements concerning access rights, threaten the mother with loss of custody if she does not go along with his demands or use the notebook intended for the exchange of information on the children to write messages denigrating her parenting (Rinfret-Raynor et al 2008). Other studies also show how violent partners may use contact with the children or the legal custody proceedings to control their former partners (Radford et al 1997;Scott et al 2002, cited in Jaffe et al 2005Harrison 2008). Because IPV is still an issue after separation, it is essential to remain vigilant to ensure that the forms of custody and legal proceedings do not thwart efforts to keep the mother and children safe.…”

“…Joint custody is not appropriate when there are major conflicts between the partners or when the dynamics of violence continue after separation (Lapierre et al 2004).

The situation of families undergoing separation in a context of co‐occurrence of intimate partner violence (IPV) and child maltreatment raises certain issues related to child custody. The results presented in this paper were collected and analysed within the framework of a qualitative study aiming to identify the principal points of agreement and the main controversies amongst practitioners in several different types of organizations. Focus groups were held with a total of 43 practitioners from six different settings concerned with child custody in cases of co‐occurrence of IPV and child maltreatment. Although they agreed on the importance of ensuring the safety of victims of violence, their views diverged on three points: (1) the importance of preserving the father–child relationship; (2) collaboration between voluntary organizations and semi‐voluntary or legal agencies; and (3) consideration of cultural differences.

“…Et le risque de violences après la séparation est plus élevé pour un ex-conjoint (Bagshaw, 2011;Statistique Canada, 2011;Brownridge, 2006;Jaspard et al, 2003;Hotton, 2001), les gestes posés s'avérant plus graves dans ces cas (Walby et Allen, 2004). Soulignons également que les mères séparées victimes de violence sont souvent agressées lors de l'échange des enfants (Rinfret-Raynor et al, 2008;Radford et al, 1997), les gestes violents sont souvent répétitifs et visent en particulier leurs méthodes éducatives (Rinfret-Raynor et al, 2008).…”
