Domestic Violence

An estimated 4 million women in the United States are battered each year by their husbands or partners. Approximately 95% of the victims of domestic violence are women. Approximately 40% of all physically abused children have also witnessed physical violence in their homes. Many children who are abused, or who witness abuse of their mothers, grow up to become abusive themselves or become victims of domestic violence.
Domestic violence can be physical or emotional. Domestic abuse can figure substantially into alimony and child support settlements awarded by the North Carolina Courts.
