Intimate partner violence (IPV) is the type of violence that occurs between current or former romantic partners. It includes physical, sexual, emotional, and financial abuse, and can happen in any type of relationship (heterosexual, gay, or lesbian). Domestic violence is a broader term that includes IPV as well as violence between family members who live together, whereas situational couple violence occurs during arguments and is not part of a pattern of control and coercion. Elder violence refers specifically to violence against elderly individuals.
