Legal Services Offered to Survivors of Domestic Violence in Custody-related Cases |
Introduction: In response to a call from advocates in the field, the Resource Center on Domestic Violence: Child Protection and Custody (RCDV:CPC), a project of the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges, and the Battered Women’s Justice Project (BWJP) have committed to a multi-year partnership focused on working with domestic violence coalitions and allied organizations to develop a national strategy to better address the needs of survivors involved in domestic violence-related custody issues.
We seek your input in developing this strategy. Your responses will help us collectively assess current resources and services available to survivors facing custody issues and identify gaps and opportunities as we move forward together.
Your participation in this scan/survey is voluntary, and the responses you provide will remain confidential; that is, your name will not be associated with the responses you provide. Only the NCJFCJ consultant and staff and BWJP staff involved in the project will have access to your responses, which will be stored on a secure, password protected server. In addition, non-identifying information (summary information of responses) will be shared and used to inform the project.
The survey should take about 10-15 minutes, and your responses will remain anonymous (i.e., your name will not be associated with the responses you provide).
You will be able to save your responses, exit, and return to the survey to complete it if needed. If you start the survey and do not want to continue, you may stop at any time as your participation is completely voluntary.
Thank you, in advance, for your feedback.
Definition: Custody issues – refers to any concern related to parental access, decision-making, or other child-related relief regardless of the type of case (protection order, custody, child welfare, child support, etc.).
