Under current family law in England and Wales, the fast route to safety runs through shared children. When the survivor and the abuser share no children, that route is closed.

Co-parenting with your abuser
  • A fact-finding hearing
  • Pattern-of-behaviour analysis
  • Mandatory abuse consideration at every hearing
  • Court pushback on cross-undertakings
  • A finding on the record
