What happens if both parents agree about the custody and visitation, but there has been a history of domestic violence?
Even if both parents agree, the judge may not allow custody or visitation to the parent with a history of causing domestic violence. For example, this means that a judge may not accept a dissolution agreement if one parent has a history of causing domestic violence. Whether a judge will accept an agreement depends on the specifics of the case and how the judge interprets the new law.
