| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | List documents that show a lost job, an expense, a move, a protective order, or a plea, with the date, the amount if printed, and the page. Do not find that violence occurred and do not characterise property. |
| What the lawyer must review | Family Code § 4320(i) requires the court, in ordering spousal support, to consider all documented evidence of any history of domestic violence, as defined in § 6211, between the parties or against either party's child, including a nolo contendere plea, emotional distress, a history of violence against the supporting party, a protective order after a hearing under § 6340, and a court finding during the case. Section 4320(m) points to a criminal conviction of an abusive spouse when support is reduced or eliminated, and it cites §§ 4324.5 and 4325. Section 3044 is the custody presumption after a finding of domestic violence in the previous five years. Section 2550 is the equal division of the community estate. You decide which proceeding the document is for. Open § 6211 before you treat an event as domestic violence under § 4320. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: List documents that show a lost job, an expense, a move, a protective order, or a plea, with the date, the amount if printed, and the page. Do not find that violence occurred and do not characterise property.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Section 4320(i) is a support factor. It does not, by itself, change the equal division in § 2550. Open the property section you rely on before you say violence changes the division.
- Open §§ 6211, 6340, 4324.5 and 4325 before you apply the cross-references. This entry does not restate them.
- Other states list different support factors and do not use § 3044.
