RT Journal Article SR Electronic 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 FD American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law SP 219 OP 223 VO 41 IS 2 A1 Carla Smith Stover YR 2013 UL http://jaapl.org/content/41/2/219.abstract AB 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.
