Despite advances, abuse of women is still the cause of 33% of divorces. Unfortunately, abuse typically does not end when a woman leaves the marriage. Current systems and professionals involved in divorce proceedings inadvertently further the abuse of victims who made the brave choice to leave.

In our peer-to-peer discussion, we’ll talk about the different tactics abusers use to inflict further harm on their victims while in the divorce process. We’ll also share ideas for how to better support your clients as well as what collaborative advocacy efforts could look like.

Who is this for? Financial Advisors, Attorneys, Police Officers, Judicial System Personnel, Therapists, Coaches, Mediators, Paralegals, and all "Divorce Professionals."
