These can include any of the following: • Spouse • Former spouse • Individuals related by blood, marriage or adoption • Individuals who are cohabitating or have cohabited with each other • Individuals who have been involved in a sexually intimate or dating relationship • Unmarried parents of a child. A single or one-time instance of abuse or controlling behavior does not necessarily constitute a risk of further or future abuse. When there is a history of these behaviors, or when the behaviors have escalated in frequency or type, or if the survivor is concerned these behaviors will lead to physical abuse, there may be a higher risk of further or future abuse.
