Abstract

Many different kinds of allegations can be made in the context of contested divorce and custody proceedings. For example, in the United States, it is estimated the 25%–50% of child custody disputes involve allegations of domestic violence. Less common, but still frequent, are reports of vice, mental illness, domestic violence, and/or sexual assault by one household member (or intimate partner) against another. On scrutiny, some of these allegations will be true, and others will be false. As discussed earlier, the only way to determine the truth is by conducting a forensic examination, to include a victimological assessment. The truth cannot be reliably established in a treatment context, or by simply accepting someone's word.
