Abstract: 
We study the effects of a parental leave reform in Denmark in 2002 on intimate partner violence (IPV) contacts. The reform extended leave-taking among mothers but not fathers and led to a marked reduction in IPV incidence, specifically among mothers with below-median years of education. Analysis of further outcomes suggests that increased birth spacing is a key mechanism linking extended parental leave to reduced IPV risk.
