Celebrities can suffer abuse too

Celebrities are not exempt from enduring domestic abuse when their relationships break down.

Taylor Armstrong who has recently petitioned for divorce alleged during an interview with People that she was verbally and physically abused during her marriage to Russell Armstrong. We witnessed a flavour of their matrimonial difficulties on the TV show 'Real Housewives of Beverley Hills'.

Unfortunately, allegations of domestic violence are common when parties are considering their divorce and subsequent financial settlement.

Despite the difficulties both parties are now focussing on the care of their daughter which is a sensible way forward.
