Here’s a cool fact: in America only 35% of DV survivors retain full custody of their children and only 45% retain primary custody.

If you flee domestic violence you are more likely than not to lose custody of your children to your abuser.

That's because joint custody is the default and you need to have really good evidence when you want to restrict a kids access to their father.

"Being forced to allow kids to see their father" is, to you, the same as "losing custody of your children"?

You're talking absolute horse puckey here. I'm also pretty certain you don't believe it.
