Please quote the research you mentioned. Is it from an unbiased position? To true solve the problems with the current process we need to find logical and sensible ways of protecting the victims the current process creates.

I believe that the current process in many states make it to easy to get the orders, which in ways hurt the true victims of domestic violence. It makes it more difficult to true protect the real ones from the false ones. How many of these are issue just on the statement that they are in fear, It should be based on more than this. How many of these come up after the filing for a divorce and the huge advantage that this give people in the divorce process. This is not to say there are not real situations that have occurred with the filing of divorce but are they all? What are the down sides of these that are false and get issued to error on the side of caution, what happens here? There are victims here as well, and not just the alleged batterer but the children involved who now make seeing and helping the children more difficult, how you resolve issues in the divorce when communication is severely limited and must be done through lawyers. How many lawyers will work to resolve the issues and find the truth in the allegations or use it to help them with to get the most for client for in the divorce? I have heard and know of situations where the lawyers suggested they file for a restraining order when there was no reason to. Then they go to Domestic Violence advocates that only looking at how to file and get these restraining orders. Not at the possibilities that they allegations are false or exaggerated during a very emotional time. How does this help the true victims of domestic violence that truly need help? How does this help the children that are caught up in these false allegations, what does it do to the children and the good relationships they had with that parent? When it is over and the allegations are unfounded where do you start to repair the damage that has occurred to these relationships? Where are the resources to help with rebuilding these relationships that are greatly damaged by this? Where are the domestic violence advocate do the help with this where are the lawyers who helped in filing for these restraining orders? Do they not take an oath to up hold justice and have a code of ethics to follow?

My final point is how this helps the true victims of Domestic Violence if false allegations are allowed to happen and the people that make them are not held accountable. Don't these false allegations hurt the victims that truly need protection, because it creates the feeling that there are too many false allegations allowed and not prevented from issuing restraining orders?

The problem is here is with articles like this that tell people how to get them and just to say you’re in fear. Why not state how to get them only if there is a real reason and if not just how to do it. Why not state that filing false allegation should not be tolerated since this only hurts the true victims of domestic violence and causes damage and creates new victims (the children and person accused with the false allegations) because of the false allegations? To truly help victims of Domestic violence that is what is required and not hysteria that occurs to often with these false allegations.

So let's really work together to prevent Domestic Violence and as well as holding people accountable for false allegations. By doing this we will help the true victims and prevent creating new victims.
