Burkhart, M. A. R. (2002). Child Abuse Allegations in the Midst of Divorce and Custody Battles: Convenience, Coincidence or Conspiracy? NCPCA Update, 13(10), Alexandria, VA: American Prosecutors Research Institute.

An allegation of child abuse arising out of a divorce or custody situation should be taken seriously and investigated thoroughly.  It is wrong to assume that such an allegation is untrue or can't be proven.  Although an allegation arising during a custody situation may create unique problems of proof, these children are no less deserving of protection."
