Abstract

Previous research has begun to highlight the experiences of men who experience domestic
violence and abuse (DVA). However, further exploration, including fathers’ experiences of
post-separation abuse following family breakdown, is needed. This need is the result of
several contextual factors (i.e., reductive parenting stereotypes) and practical issues (i.e.,
higher likelihood of non-resident parent status) that place fathers at risk for post-separation
abuse. The present study examined the testimony of 141 fathers (141 via survey and 30 via
interview) who had experienced family breakdown, separation, and divorce (FBSD) within the
last five years. Positioned within a wider thematic framework, this manuscript specifically
explores themes generated relating to FBSD and DVA, including abuse experienced within
the relationship, post-separation abuse, and parental alienation. Results suggest that fathers
constitute a vulnerable group post-separation, and that more support is required.
