Divorce is an emotional experience that includes uncertainty and anger. There are some individuals that become extremely angry and resort to violence against their ex-spouse. It is a way for an individual to try and control the other person.
Domestic violence or spousal abuse is considered to be any type assault committed against family members, spouses, children, partners, ex-partners or ex-spouses.
The assault is not always physical; it could be emotional or sexual and it carries severe consequences with it. It puts a person in a situation where they feel bodily harm is going to happen to them.
