FC §3044 creates a mandatory checklist when finding the presumption against joint custody after DV has been rebutted; if the reasons cannot be given orally, the trial ct. must give them in writing.

Depriving a parent of access to his or her child certainly may qualify as abuse for the issuance of a DVRO.

Order modifying parenting plan did not amount to a change in custody.

Superior court has no jurisdiction under DVPA to award temporary custody of child to non-parent.

DVPA custody order is not a “permanent custody order” for purposes of move-aways.
