Child contact centers and domestic abuse: victim safety and the challenge to neutrality.

Child contact with a nonresident father who has perpetrated domestic abuse has gained policy and research attention.

Drawing from a literature review carried out by the authors, this article examines the priorities that underpin feminist social policy and family law disciplines and how these manifest in research on contact centers and domestic abuse.
