However, the implications of an adult family member’s presence within the home for exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) remains underexplored. While familial support can operate as a protective mechanism against IPV, past qualitative research suggests that distinctive stressors and conflict can emerge within coresident households.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Methods</h3><p>This study leverages several waves of observations from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study (<i>n</i> = 11,895).
