"As I could see him being the sort to be ahem quick to anger behind closed doors" Wiki suggests you're not wrong:  In 2000, Ford married Renata Brejniak, whom he had met in high school. Ford, Renata, their daughter Stephanie, and their son Doug, reside in Etobicoke. In 2008, after a 911 call from the Ford home, Ford was charged with assault and threatening to kill his wife. The Crown attorney said "there was no reasonable prospect of conviction" because there were "credibility issues" with allegations by Ford's wife due to inconsistencies in her statements. Ford said that he was glad the ordeal was over and that he and his wife have sought marital counselling. In two separate incidents, on 25 October 2011, and again on 25 December 2011, police were called to Ford's home to investigate domestic disputes. During the Christmas Day incident, Ford's mother-in-law called 911 between 4 and 5am local time as she was concerned that Ford had been drinking and was going to take his children to Florida against his wife's wishes. No charges were laid in either incident. Further domestic incident calls to police occurred in 2012 and on August 27, 2013. Again, no charges were laid.
