Concerns counseling for children who were either physically present or who may have seen or heard act of domestic violence.

S 2790 requires New Jersey courts to inform both victims and abusers about counseling services for minor children who were physically present during or witnessed domestic violence incidents when a domestic violence complaint is filed. This amendment to existing law ensures courts immediately connect affected children with support resources as part of the legal process. The bill directly affects children exposed to domestic violence and the court system's handling of domestic violence cases, mandating that counseling information be provided at the time of complaint filing. It does not create new services but directs courts to share existing resources with families.
