divorce court absolutely can make the determination that there was domestic violence in their ruling. it simply doesn't have criminal implications.

there is very frequently different outcome in civil suits vs criminal suits. where you're found guilty of something in a civil court but innocent in criminal.

Divorce court doesn't do in depth investigation.

If it's legit domestic abuse it goes through a criminal court first and they use that evidence in the divorce court.

Domestic abuse is its own trial entirely.

Otherwise it's just a he-said-she-said scenario and women usually engender a lot more sympathy in painting the guy as an abuser.
