I don't know what you mean when you say: "The courts pay little to no attention to obvious evidence of abuse."
My understanding is that in most cases the evidence consists only of uncorroborated statements from the alleged victim. You know, the "she said" without the "he said" because most of these matter are dealt with in the first instance, without the alleged perpetrator present. So where does "obvious" come into it?
