If you obtain a restraining order can that increase your risk of harm from a batterer?

It depends on how violent the batterer is and if they have no fear of the law then yes, a restraining order is basically worthless. If the batterer threatens you by phone; email or stalks you (appears everywhere you are) then report this to the police. If the batterer has been arrest before there will be a case report on him and you can call the police for help. If you are deathly afraid of this person then there are Women/Men's Abuse Centers and you can call your Mental Health to get the phone number. They will guide you through the process and keep you in a 'Safe House' and even take you to court if need be to press charges against your batterer.

Why does custody always seem to go to the mother?

Many times it is seen as more natural for children to stay with their mother, especially since Men are usually portrayed in culture as "Child-inept." A lot of it has to do with the reason the parents are divorcing, if it's for domestic violence of any kind of course the kids will go with the other parent. Ultimately the question of custody will be decided by who can prove to the Jude that they are better suited parents: have a good job, appropriate life style, can provide, etc.Another PerspectiveBecause in this time it has been acknowledged that throughout the history of the world women have been the parent in charge of childcare; women have been given the role of caring for the home and children and women are more accustomed to responding to the needs of others. Surprisingly, it is only recently that women were favored for custody. In past centuries they were not, the children were considered the property of their father. In many cases men do have custody of their children.
