The answer seems rather obvious (to me anyway). There is no reason to believe that the batterer would not vent their anger and abuse on the children. Being a battered wife is nothing shameful nor does it make you a bad parent. I believe you would benefit from counseling to help you resolve any issues you may have, from being in an abusive relationship. Good Luck
I have to warn you here - this happened to me.
My ex abused me horribly for 6 years (phys, emotional & sexual abuse). When I had courage enough to leave him, I had to seek counseling to help me get over the abuse and on with my life. He sued saying I was unstable (due to the counseling) and atually WON! Now he has my kids and neglects them completely (no coats, holes in shoes, doesnt care about school problems, etc..)as well as uses them to continue to abuse me emotionally. Ive gone broke between child support ($1200/mth) and legal fees and my kids are suffering and I dont even have any way to help them (Lord knows Im trying). BTW, DSS is useless.
So please please dont take it for granted that an abuser WONT get custody. They are a manipulative breed indeed and can and do use the situation to hurt you. Please dont let this happen to you or your kids.

Termination of parental rights. The child then becomes a ward of the state.
To be honest, I think Gerber markets more to parents by advertising on children's programming that parent's may be watching with their children. Gerber markets products that are for children at an age where a parent is more likely to be present during the advertisement being they are toddlers requiring supervision.
i don't think so
It depends on who is being described. If there is one parent, it is parent's: the parent's car was parked outside. When describing several parents, it is parents': the parents' children were playing on the field.
The National Association for Retarded Children (now known as The Arc) was one of the first parent groups that organized for children with disabilities in the United States in the 1950s. They aimed to promote the rights and well-being of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
One of a parent's most enjoyable pleasures is to live long enough to become an embarrassment to their child, just as their parents embarrassed them when they were children.
The pace did not relent, with boats being battered even on the good lines.
Courts can enforce child support orders. But, they cannot "force" a parent to have a relationship with a child(ren). It is reasonable to assume that if a parent has to be "dragged" into a relationship with their children, it would not be a pleasant experience for anyone. Children should know they are loved and wanted as opposed to being a burden.
Yes, but not without a court approved long distance visitation schedule being established first. see link
