Where is Domestic Violence?

I'm doing some research on New Jersey - yes, New Jersey - and I came across the New Jersey Law Network website and they have a list of NJ laws affecting families that looks like this:

Laws affecting Families:
42 USC CHAPTER 67 Child Abuse Link to table of contents from Cornell's Legal Information Institute
42 USC Sec. 5111 Adoption Link to table of contents from Cornell's Legal Information Institute 25 USC CHAPTER 21 Indian Children Link to table of contents from Cornell's Legal Information Institute
S.CT. Divorce Decisions Link to table of contents from Cornell's Legal Information Institute

Where the heck are the domestic violence laws? They need to be right up there next to child abuse! Domestic violence laws affect families and the ability for non-offending spouses, parents, and children to be safe! And most of the time the law is the only way to hold an abuser accountable for their violent, family-destroying behavior.

Get with it New Jersey! Add your domestic violence laws to the list!

PS. No, I have no intentions of moving to New Jersey. The garden state is beautiful, however, I'm partial to NC, our mild weather, and lots of loved ones who live here!
