You asked: "Is hidden camera what you would recommend for a woman whose spouse was coming at her with a bat? Take it that first time then get on tape next time? Or maybe try to establish a pattern by taping the first 10-15 incidents where he hits her with a bat?"
If I were married to someone like this, there is no way I would leave my kids with that guy. If I thought there was any chance that a judge might not give me SOLE custody, I would take a few hits for the team.
I'm a Mom. My child -- even though she is now in her twenties -- comes first in matters of life and death and her serious well being. People just don't want to make the serious choices they need to to protect their children.
I don't believe the abusive parent should ever have custody of the children. I believe spousal abuse IS a form of child abuse. Living in poverty is better than living with abuse.
