I really think it's important for legal teams to actually be open and honest upfront. People who try and go for the jugular, promise to fight tooth and nail for no visitation rights, take every last nickle from their former partner and more should really be cautioned on the risks.
These type of tragic cases are happening a lot in Canada and I can't help but think that family breakdowns and long lasting court battles and fight till the death mentality may be playing a significant role here.
Just brutal for all involved.

I disagree.
The most dangerous time for the victim of domestic violence is when they attempt to leave the relationship. The woman who was murdered in front of the school (last?) year was also the victim of an abusive relationship.
Intimate partner murder almost always is the culmination of an abusive relationship. It often happens around the time of divorce, because the abuser is finally losing control and responds with violence.
