YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

You might think that once one parent has been found to have committed domestic violence against the other parent, that the children would immediately be taken from the abuser. But, rarely are these cases that black and white. We're going to look at why that is, starting here with reviewing the status of the custody proceedings between Ioan and Alice and then examining the laws that govern how custody decisions are made. Separating children from parents they've bonded to is always going to be traumatic for children, but in the case of domestic violence, California law creates a presumption that it's not in the best interests of the child for an abuser to receive sole or joint custody. This means that Alice is very much at a disadvantage if she insists on contesting custody, unless she can prove to the court that she's sufficiently rehabilitated that it is in the childrens' best interest for her to have custody.
