A judge may deny an abusive parent custody or unsupervised visitation with a child. • Children have the right to be safe and free from abuse. • A child's exposure to domestic violence and domestic violence committed where a child lives are detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of the child. • For more information, read selfhelp.courts.ca.gov/child-custody#best-interest and selfhelp.courts.ca.gov/domestic-violence-child-custody
