Summary: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant factor leading to separation and divorce. After separation, parents who use IPV may continue to interfere in the lives of parents who experience IPV, posing the risk of further abuse. Therefore, it is crucial to assess and consider IPV for separating/divorcing parents. Existing IPV screens in family court processes have limitations, but the Mediator's Assessment of Safety Issues and Concerns-Short (MASIC-S) addresses these limitations. By utilizing MASIC-S results, parenting arrangements can be created in the best interest of the child.
