We created Custody Peace to raise awareness around coercive control and how this impacts the conditions in our homes and throughout our world, including in our schools, workplaces, legal system, various institutions and our planet as a whole. On a micro and macro level, the tactics of abusers/oppressors are the same. They are rooted in the perpetuation of separation from health, support, family, land, culture, truth, and from oneself.
Our goal is to evolve the conditions within our systems through solution-based awareness building, evolved thinking, education, resources, community care, and collective advocacy so that cycles of abuse are replaced with natural cycles of health for all ―with a special focus on mothers and their children.
We look forward to providing additional resources and raising awareness so that we may all cultivate health and peace in our systems, relationships & lives.

This article examines the findings from U.S. Congress, the Department of Justice, the California Judicial Council, the United Nations, and countless other researchers, along with the consistent underlying factors that cause the outcomes to be the same, regardless of the decade or the location of the courtroom.
- They will use the systems intended to protect you, to control you. This article examines Post Separation Abuse, Coercive Control, and the Family Court System. Written with contribution and advisement from Dr. Christine Marie Cocchiola, Doctor of Clinical Social Welfare, Coercive Control Educator/Researcher, and Dr. Emma Katz, Global Coercive Control Expert and Author of “Coercive Control in Children’s and Mothers’ Lives”.
- Understanding High-Conflict Personalities & The Impacts on Custody Cases (Research and Resources): Lumping in a protective, safe parent with a high-conflict personality and defining the case as "high-conflict" can lead to dangerous outcomes and perpetuate the ongoing abuse of protective parents and their children. These cases are not "high conflict," they are the perpetuation of post-separation abuse at the hands of an unsafe parent.
