Workshop 76: Safer Storage in Custody Litigation: Reducing Firearm Risks for Families
Firearm violence—suicide, homicide, unintentional shootings—is impacting families and professionals. This horrifying reality is of particular concern in family law: in 2022, more than twice as many minors were killed or injured in domestic violence shootings in the US than in school shootings; between 2019 and 2021, there was a 65% increase in the number of minors killed or injured in domestic violence shootings nationwide. Presenters will share best practices for safety planning and how to talk with clients about this complicated issue. This session will include legal information, safe storage options, key parenting plan provisions, and survivor perspectives.
