Can’t Defend It, Gotta Deal With It: Strategic Navigation of Domestic Violence Findings in Family Law

Domestic violence findings can shape the trajectory of a family law case long after they’re issued. This 60-minute CLE focuses on what comes next—offering a practical, clear-eyed look at today’s legal landscape and the constraints that attorneys and judges work within.

Instead of revisiting how findings are made, this session provides the tools to move forward: how to work within § 3044, develop a strategic response early, shape a credible narrative over time, and create a record that supports judicial decision-making under scrutiny.

Designed for both practitioners and judicial officers, this is a pragmatic playbook for navigating DV findings with confidence.
