March 2024
We added a Litigation Abuse page in North Dakota with five new questions based on a new 2023 law that allows someone dealing with abusive litigation to request an order restrictive abusive litigation. We also added a new question titled “Is there anything I can do if my abusive partner continually files court proceedings against me?” in our Custody, Divorce, Domestic Violence Protection Orders, and Disorderly Conduct Restraining Orders sections to help victims of abusive litigation learn about this new remedy.
We also added six new statutes related to litigation abuse on our Selected North Dakota Statutes page.
We updated the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence on our California Statewide Programs page.
We updated the resource Children of the Night on our National Organizations Teens and Trafficking/Sexual Exploitation pages in English and Spanish. (General)
We added a Litigation Abuse page in Washington that includes nine questions based on the 2021 law that allows someone dealing with abusive litigation to request an order restrictive abusive litigation.
We revised the question “Is there anything I can do if my abusive partner continually files court proceedings against me?” on our Custody and Divorce pages, and added the same question to our Domestic Violence Protection Orders section to help victims of abusive litigation learn more about this remedy.
All changes made in English; Spanish coming soon!
We also added 16 new statutes related to litigation abuse and custody to our Selected Washington Statutes Page.
