We didn't know what domestic violence was. We didn't know violence," said Brown. "The only time I ever saw Nic and O.J. fight, it wasn't even a fight, it was just them raising their voices, but not like arguing. One was on one side of the car, and the other was on the other side of the car. "It was the perfect opportunity for her to say, 'I'm getting a divorce because he beats me or because he verbally abuses me,'" said Brown. But her sister didn't. "As many victims of domestic violence do, they don't share and they don't open up because they're ashamed or they're fearful, and my sister fell into that category," she said. "She had many opportunities to share her life with me and she didn't."
This paper explores child support recalculation options for Ontario in light of the recent Supreme Court cases D.B.S. v. S.R.G.; L.J. W. v. T.A.R.; Henry v. Henry; Hiemstra v. Hiemstra (D.B.S.). Because Ontario lacks a public recalculation service, and because D.B.S. puts the onus on recipient parents to request increased support, individual parents are currently forced to renegotiate child support arrangements in the private sphere. The author suggests that this leaves recipient parents vulnerable to ongoing threats of domestic violence. As potential alternatives, she examines the recalculation regimes implemented in two Canadian jurisdictions. While Newfoundland has implemented an administrative scheme, Manitoba's formalized process relies heavily upon the courts. Ultimately, the auth...
Some of its findings are banal -- women overwhelmingly are the victims of domestic violence, men overwhelmingly are the perpetrators. As banal but more useful is a finding that a prior history of abuse is the No. 1 risk factor -- present in 92 per cent of fatalities. The No. 2 risk factor is pending separation at 82 per cent. Those are pieces of information that the public generally should be made aware of. Domestic abuse is seldom as private as are the settings in which it occurs. But knowing it's happening is not the same as knowing what an individual might do to help. In a similar useful vein, the report notes that communities of fewer than 25,000 -- two per cent of Ontario's population centres -- are the source of 25 per cent of deaths, a finding that could be used to guide decision...
Manitoba Chief Judge Raymond Wyant said before this project domestic violence courts were "basically in gridlock. We had more cases coming in than we had going out of the system," he said. "Judges and court clerks and everyone involved in the justice system were going to court and pushing around paper with needless duplication and we felt unless we did something critical the whole system would fall apart." "We know it makes a difference," said [Gary Doer]. "People are very vulnerable when they are in a situation with alleged violence taking place at domestic levels."
THE province is spending an extra $2.6 million over the next year to tackle domestic violence with an ad campaign, better security in women's shelters and a wage hike for the province's 200 abuse workers. That's why Manitoba's 10 women's shelters will share $1.5 million for new security features like cameras, intercoms, emergency evacuation systems and better computer security to protect client confidentiality. That will bring them all up to a consistent level of security to help guard against angry spouses trying to harm women in the shelter. We really feel like somebody in the government listened," said Carol Ellerbeck, executive director of Osborne House, one of Winnipeg's two shelters.
Though no statistics are readily available in Canada regarding the rate of officer-involved domestic violence, studies presented by the National Centre for Women in Policing (NCWP) in the U.S. show that at least 40 per cent of police-officer families experience it. Victims reportedly often feel conflicted about calling 911 because they know the case will likely be handled by colleagues of the alleged abuser, who may even side with the officer, the NCWP said. Options such as calling the police for intervention, taking refuge in a shelter or seeking protection orders may not seem possible," Dr. Elisabeth Blaney wrote in a 2007 article for the International Association of Women Police.

The rates of exposure are extremely similar regardless of the region you're in or the country," says Lisa Wolff, advocacy specialist with UNICEF Canada. "For every 100 homes where domestic violence occurs, children are present in 60 of them.
