Domestic violence is a situation that no child should ever have to witness or endure themselves. Sadly, children do experience these events and often have to face issues because of them. When a child is involved in a situation with domestic violence, the courts will often jump into the picture to ensure that the child remains safe.
One way that domestic violence can impact a child’s life is that they might have to learn how to live with only one parent in the home. This is because the court might issue a restraining order against the parent who is accused of abusing the other parent. This can sometimes mean that the parent who is accused of domestic violence will receive only supervised visitation with the child.
