Section 30-6-2
Legislative intent.
The Legislature recognizes that certain persons who assault, batter, or otherwise abuse their children, spouses and other family members and the persons subject to such abuse are in need of treatment and rehabilitation. It is the intent of the Legislature to assist in the development of domestic violence shelters and services for the victims of such abuse and to provide a place where the parties involved may be separated until they can be properly assisted.
