Domestic violence - Domestic violence broadly defined, is violence within a home. Beyond this, the term has a range of definitions, some more and some less formal, that are frequently used with little awareness that a range of definitions exists.

Allegations of domestic violence - Allegations of domestic violence are frequent in post-divorce/separation situations. The consequences of such allegations can be serious for the alleged perpetrator since occupation of the home and custody of the children may be at stake.

Emergency shelter - Emergency shelters are places for people to live temporarily when they can't live in their previous residence, similar to homeless shelters. The main difference is that an emergency shelter typically specializes in people fleeing a specific type of situation, such as battered women, victims of domestic violence in general, or victims of sexual abuse.

Tom Stall Viggo Mortensen lives a quiet life in a small Indiana town, running the local diner with his wife, Edie Maria Bello, and raising their two children. But the quiet is shattered one day when a pair of criminals on the run from the police walk into his diner just before closing time.
