TY - JOUR T1 - Commentary: Factors Predicting Family Court Decisions in High-Conflict Divorce JF - Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law Online JO - J Am Acad Psychiatry Law SP - 219 LP - 223 VL - 41 IS - 2 AU - Carla Smith Stover Y1 - 2013/06/01 UR - http://jaapl.org/content/41/2/219.abstract N2 - Factors that predict custody and visitation decisions are an important area of research, especially in the context of high-conflict divorce. In these cases, youths are at significantly higher risk for exposure to ongoing conflict, violence, and triangulation in their parents' disputes. What variables courts and evaluation clinics use to make custody decisions and whether they are the most salient requires further study. The work by Raub and colleagues in this issue extends our understanding of important factors considered by the courts and custody evaluators in high-conflict divorce and points to directions for future research in this area.
