A project of the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges, The Resource Center on Domestic Violence: Child Protection and Custody ensures that family and juvenile court cases are handled in a manner that recognizes the complexity of the legal, cultural, and psychological aspects of domestic violence and provides protection and relief for all victims in the family. For more than a decade, the Resource Center has been engaged in the process of infusing domestic violence knowledge into child protection and custody practice and reducing the unintended consequences of such practice through its targeted technical and training assistance, through its work with communities to explore, examine, and develop state-of-the-art policies and practices in this special issue area, and through its collaborations with the other members of the Domestic Violence Resource Network.
