Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a major public health issue across the globe due to its associations with health and wellbeing, especially among mothers and children. These associations are often more pronounced following separation or divorce, which can compromise safety given that women and children are at heightened risk during these transitions. Thus, it is critical to understand the implications of coparenting in the context of IPV. In this paper, we first discuss the literature on IPV broadly. In particular, we discuss the differences between two types of violence: coercive controlling violence (i.e., violence that occurs in the context of systematic control) and situational couple violence (i.e., violence that occurs without a pattern of control). We then link it to parenting and coparenting processes as they relate to separation and divorce. In this section, we focus heavily on the ways in which the legal system affects family dynamics as divorces make their way through the courts. Special attention is paid to the ways in which IPV affects child custody decisions and the safety of those decisions given empirical evidence suggesting that raising allegations of IPV often does not help achieve favorable court outcomes. We conclude with recommendations to guide family court practitioners based upon this substantial literature. Such recommendations center on the development and implementation of empirically-derived assessment tools as well as systematic training of legal professionals.

共同养育和亲密伴侣暴力

亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 是全球的一个重大公共卫生问题，因为它与健康和福祉密切相关，尤其是母亲和儿童的健康和福祉。这些关联在分居或离婚后往往更加明显，考虑到妇女和儿童在这些过渡期间面临更高的风险，这可能会损害安全。因此，了解 IPV 背景下共同养育的影响至关重要。在本文中，我们首先广泛讨论有关 IPV 的文献。我们特别讨论了两种类型的暴力之间的差异：强制控制暴力（即在系统控制的背景下发生的暴力）和情境性夫妻暴力（即在没有控制模式的情况下发生的暴力）。然后，我们将其与与分居和离婚相关的养育和共同养育过程联系起来。在本节中，我们重点关注离婚案件通过法院审理时法律制度如何影响家庭动态。鉴于经验证据表明提出 IPV 指控通常无助于取得有利的法庭结果，因此特别关注 IPV 影响儿童监护权决定的方式以及这些决定的安全性。最后，我们根据这些大量文献提出了指导家庭法院从业人员的建议。这些建议的重点是开发和实施基于经验的评估工具以及对法律专业人员的系统培训。
