What “pattern” means here

No statute independently naming coercive control was located for this orientation. Domestic-violence, harassment, or stalking provisions may still reach some of the same conduct. That is not the same as a pattern test.

What Carlton Research can speak to

Carlton Research can speak to pattern analysis (coercive control breadth, depth, escalation, entrapment, and more). Research is built to the evidentiary rules of the jurisdiction that will hear it. Carlton Research does not recommend parenting time or custody. Research establishes whether a pattern of coercive control is present. Inquire about specific testimony requests or speaking engagements.

Silence is not absence of abuse. Silence is absence of a named pattern standard. Pattern analysis can still be offered if the forum's expert rules allow it; the report must not pretend the statute already uses the term.
