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.

Montana has an intimidation statute (MCA 45-5-203). That is not a coercive-control naming.
