High Conflict or Domestic Violence

Of course, not all abusers or violent people are male.  (My Clip Art package only had a down female and a soccer player that I could use for this, sorry; not meant to stereotype.)
The point is that the Law of the State of California is very clear that domestic violence and abuse are relevant to custody, and when a judge calls domestic violence "high conflict," the judge is making both parties equal---contrary
to state law.

This month's "Family Law News," official publication of the State Bar of California Family Law Section (Issue 4 2005, vol. 27, No. 4) has an articles titled "High-Conflict Divorce and the Personalities That Drive Them (beginning at page 7). I regard this article as absurd and contrary to law, encouraging judges to treat both the abused spouse and the abuser the same.

It leads to thinking that equates the victim lying on the floor with the batterer.

Whether the batterer is male or female, the state's law should be applied.  The Batterer as Parent by Bancroft and Silverman discusses ways in which a parent being violent to a spouse is also reflected in the person's parenting. That is consistent with California State Law, not to mention common sense and experience.
