Survey of Dometic Violence Victims Going
Through the Child Custody and Visitation Process
The Coalition's taskforce of survivors, SOAR, is working to identify strengths and gaps in the child custody and visitation process, and how the gaps affect victims of domestic violence and their children. If you are a domestic violence victim who has children and is or has been involved in a custody and/or visitation case in Rhode Island, please help us by taking this survey. It is CONFIDENTIAL, no name or identification is required, and should take about 15 minutes to complete.
