It’s something of a truism, but divorce has a way of bringing out the worst in people. Even spouses who have been married for decades often find themselves shocked by their partner’s behavior. This often includes very serious, and very often false, accusations of domestic violence or abuse.

In high-asset divorces, domestic violence allegations are made because they are effective. A well-timed accusation can shift the balance of a divorce proceeding dramatically, affecting everything from who stays in the marital home, who gets temporary custody of the children, and who enters financial negotiations over asset division from a position of strength.
