What this episode covers

Family court judges sometimes decide that domestic abuse claims are not credible. But making the wrong call can end with children paying the ultimate price. Studies have shown in 20 to 30% of cases of domestic homicide, there are no prior physical acts of violence until the murder. This is the second episode in a series about the way family courts adjudicate cases that involve a form of domestic abuse known as coercive control, and the advocates and lawmakers who are trying to help victims and their children.
