is a criminal conviction for an act of domestic violence perpetrated
by one spouse against the other spouse entered by the court within

spouse's history as a victim of domestic violence, as defined in
Section 6211, perpetrated by the other spouse, or any other factors
the court deems just and equitable, as conditions for rebutting this
presumption.
(c) The rebuttable presumption created in this section may be
