Intervention with fathers who commit family violence is an essential but often overlooked part of effective family court proceedings. This article provides an overview of how evidence-informed engagement with fathers around family violence can complement family court efforts to achieve safe and healthy outcomes for children. The focus on fathers is not based on bias against fathers, men, or masculinity, but rather it is consistent with the fact that fathers comprise a substantial proportion of those who use family violence. These men need more effective engagement and interventions. Fathers in these circumstances need to be engaged in services that can assess, monitor, and manage ongoing family violence and risk as well as develop skills to form more positive, healthy relationships with their children and children's mothers. Courts, in turn, need to consider evidence of accountability and change. Application and continued development of the strategies recommended herein would enhance the safety of mothers who experience violence, their children, and the well-being of fathers who have used family violence. Collaboration with community partners serving families must become cornerstones in promoting the safety for and with all family members.

让实施家庭暴力的父亲参与：家庭法庭的问题和挑战

对实施家庭暴力的父亲进行干预是有效的家庭法庭诉讼的一个重要组成部分，但常常被忽视。本文概述了在家庭暴力问题上与父亲进行基于证据的接触如何补充家庭法庭的努力，从而为儿童实现安全和健康的结果。对父亲的关注并不是基于对父亲、男性或男子气概的偏见，而是与父亲在家庭暴力实施者中占很大比例这一事实是一致的。这些人需要更有效的参与和干预。在这种情况下，父亲需要参与能够评估、监测和管理持续的家庭暴力和风险的服务，并培养技能，与孩子和孩子的母亲建立更积极、健康的关系。反过来，法院需要考虑问责和变革的证据。本文建议的策略的应用和持续发展将增强遭受暴力的母亲及其子女的安全以及遭受家庭暴力的父亲的福祉。与为家庭服务的社区合作伙伴的合作必须成为促进所有家庭成员安全的基石。
