Sometimes abusive cheating women use the court system to do the same thing.  [/quote]

Since the statistics show coercive controllers lean heavily male and judicial abuse is a form of coercive control, it's far more likely to be an abusive man doing this than a woman.

But yes, women can certainly engage in judicial abuse. It's just far less likely.[/quote]

Not significantly higher.

I said coercive control. Coercive controlling domestic abuse is merely one form of domestic violence. One of the other two is situational, where there's no unbalanced power and control dynamic, but simply something like both partners going overboard in a rage. The other is a single instance of violence that happens out-of-the blue after separation without a power and control dynamic ever happening before.

Women are far more likely to be engaged in situational abuse or use violence in response to years of coercive control by a partner (sometimes called "reactive abuse") than they are to be engaged in coercive control.
