Beyond substance abuse and mental illness, domestic violence is one of the most prevalent factors bringing a family into the dependency system. Because of the high incidence of domestic violence across the population, and because of the substantial correlation between domestic violence and actual abuse or risk of abuse of children, both dependency judges and dependency attorneys must frequently address issues of domestic violence. This course will focus on the important dependency cases addressing domestic violence as a basis for jurisdiction and removal, reasonable efforts to prevent removal, reasonable services, restraining orders issued under the Welfare and Institutions Code, and related issues. This course will also address advocacy and trial strategies when representing victims of domestic violence in a dependency case.
