Yes. Retaliation and the escalation of domestic abuse following separation or conflict are well-documented risk factors for intimate partner homicide affecting women and children.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 6 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The claim is specific, falsifiable, and directly addressed by multiple retrieved papers examining domestic abuse, post-separation violence, and intimate partner homicide/femicide. The literature consistently links ongoing abuse and retaliation by partners (such as refusal to accept the end of a relationship) to the ultimate risk of homicide for women and children. Therefore, the claim is supported by the evidence.
