Let's just say that the rules are very fickle and unevenly applied when it comes to violence against the spouse affecting the kids. I have had a few examples of truly dangerous abusive behavior yet have been told that it does not affect the kids visitation.
In my state you can't even get a PO without proof of physical violence. I think it depends on where you live.
