Domestic violence is a type of assault and battery where the two parties have some sort of domestic relationship. This includes anyone who you may have been married to, had a child in common with, a resident or former resident of your household, or someone you have/had an intimate and consistent relationship with.
Police often arrest someone for domestic violence on the word or allegation of the complainant alone. Unlike many other offenses, most prosecutors will proceed against people charged with domestic violence even if the complainant/alleged victim wants or demands dismissal. Charges of domestic violence are divisive, emotional, and occasionally are the product of lies in order to gain advantage in a divorce or custody case.
If you are charged with domestic violence you may be required to immediately leave your home, surrender weapons, post a bond, and give up other freedoms. If you are convicted of domestic violence you will not be allowed to possess a weapon, face possible jail, face extended probation. You'll likely face extensive counseling, fines, anger management classes, and community service. A first domestic violence conviction is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 93 days in jail and a fine up to $500.00. A second domestic violence conviction is also a misdemeanor punishable by not more than a year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.00.
