Similary, an adult who has been subjected to physical or psychological violence by his parents is not deemed to receive a parental contribution.

In these situations, no steps may be taken to secure the payment of the parental contribution.
The condition of an adult who experiences an intolerable family situation resulting from a serious and persisting disagreement with his or her parents may be considered as psychological violence.
This may be identified even if the adult resides with his or her parents when, according to the circumstances, residing with them still remains the most appropriate to his or her situation.
As examples: these situations may occur when the parents or the child have a drug or alcohol problem, or problems of delinquency, mental health, incest, etc. or the disagreement has occurred because of an early pregnancy.
It is not necessary to take action to secure payment of the parental contribution in these cases unless the adult re-establishes family ties.
When the parents cohabit and only one parent has subjected the adult to violence, the adult is not deemed to receive a parental contribution from either parent.
When the parents do not cohabit and both parents have subjected the adult to violence, the adult is not deemed to receive a parental contribution from either parent.
When the parents do not cohabit and only one parent has subjected the adult to violence, the parental contribution is determined based on the situation of the other parent. To calculate the parental contribution in this situation, see section 18.4.1.12
