Abstract
This article examines research on the relatively understudied topic of violence against women post-separation. Available research has shown that women have a high risk for violence post-separation and has identified several potential risk markers for post-separation violence. However, these risk markers have not heretofore been integrated into a single framework. Using a nested ecological framework, risk markers for post-separation violence are identified and discussed to facilitate our understanding of violence against women post-separation. Implications of existing research for women are identified. Limitations of the research and suggestions for future research are outlined.
