"It's a consideration in all states under the VAWA, but it's also a commonly used tactic to prevent fathers getting custody, so any such claim has to be taken with a pound of salt. Even a male victim can be prevented from getting custody if he ver defended himself from an attack by a woman. "
This is good input - but I feel I need to add to it.
If you're a man in such a situation as the first answer describes, speak to a QUALIFIED "Divorce/Custody" Attorney YESTERDAY.
I've been falsely accused - IF this is what happened to you, it stinks.
OTOH, if you're actually a man who really abused his wife, think of your kids first. Drop the "custody" mess, and get yourself some help. Someday maybe your kids will need you - you need to be able to help them...
