Have you been the victim of domestic violence?

Domestic violence refers to physical or emotional abuse and harassment in an intimate relationship such as a marriage or couple living together. Domestic violence can be in the form of hitting, slapping, restraining, throwing objects, sexual abuse, intimidation, stalking, domineering, and economic deprivation. Every year, millions of women and men are victims of abuse from their partners. It is estimated that less than 1 percent of instances of domestic violence are actually reported. All forms of domestic violence involve the use of force or threats to intimidate and try to dominate or control the partner. In many cases, domestic violence is followed by a legal separation or divorce. In a divorce, a history of domestic violence will have a major impact on issues such as child custody, visitation, and spousal support.
