Using data from in-depth interviews with women who have exited violent relationships, attorneys, and practitioners/policy specialists, this research note explores the continuation of control as women encounter "paper abuse." The barrage of men's frivolous lawsuits, false reports of child abuse, and other system-related manipulations exerts power, forces contact, and financially burdens their ex-partners. Although these acts are not new, the significance of this continuing abuse has not been fully explored by researchers. Yet attorneys and practitioners recognize the need for better documentation to strengthen protections for women still forced to contend with their former batterers.
利用对已摆脱暴力关系的女性、律师和从业人员/政策专家进行深入访谈所获得的数据，本研究报告探讨了女性遭遇“文书虐待”时控制的延续。男性提出大量轻率的诉讼、虚假的虐待儿童报告以及其他与系统相关的操纵，这些都施加了权力，迫使接触，并给他们的前伴侣带来经济负担。虽然这些行为并不新鲜，但研究人员尚未充分探讨这种持续虐待的意义。然而，律师和从业人员认识到需要更好地记录这些行为，以加强对仍被迫与前殴打者打交道的女性的保护。
