Abstract
After separation because of intimate partner violence (IPV), fathers may threaten to or abduct children. In these mixed methods secondary analysis of a data set from 2005 to 2009 with 370 Canadian mothers, 242 (65.4%) of fathers had not threatened abduction, 70 (18.9%) had threatened abduction, and 58 (15.7%) had abducted children. The women with abduction histories reported more serious IPV on several Composite Abuse Scales. Seventy-one women commented about abductions: 36 described actual but brief abductions, 17 described more serious abductions, and 18 noted their partners' direct threats to abduct. Recommendations to better address mothers' issues about abductions are provided.
