of victims of domestic violence. The support centers will be the guarantors of the best interests of the child;

7. Establish

neutral supervised child visitation areas run by specialists;

8. Establish specialized judges in domestic violence who will be victim-centered and protect the interests of the child.

Enforcement of Court Decisions in Cases Regarding Children (DAHG) The process of compulsory enforcement of judicial acts is another problem in cases of DV. After publication of judicial acts by the courts most abusers create obstacles for the mothers to assume their parental responsibilities, visitations or custody as prescribed by the court decision. The process of compulsory enforcement of judicial acts lacks proper regulation. In particular, the officers of the Compulsory Enforcement Service are not trained in the sphere of domestic violence and do not have the necessary skills. Based on established stereotypes and narrow personal perceptions, compulsory enforcement officers often take an obviously biased approach in favor of male perpetrator of domestic violence during the enforcement of the judicial acts. As a result, the enforcement of judicial acts in favor of the victim of violence is artificially delayed and, in some cases, the judicial act may not be enforced at all.
