A: It sounds like you nay benefit with a consultation with a practicing family court attorney familiar with domestic violence cases to address these violent tendencies you mention as well as to establish custody, support, and visitation. The court may award anything is deems appropriate after hearing the evidence. This may or may not include sole custody or supervised visitation depending on that evidence and how it is presented.
