Domestic Violence is an assault and battery where the two parties have some sort of domestic relationship. This includes anyone with whom you may have been married to, had a child in common with, a resident or former resident of your household, or with whom you had a dating relationship with. A dating relationship means frequent, intimate associations primarily characterized by the expectation of intimate involvement. This doesn't mean casual relationships.

Police often arrest someone for domestic violence on the word or allegation of the complainant alone. Unlike with many 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 and 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, extended probation, and you will likely face extensive counseling, fines, anger management classes and community service. A first domestic violence conviction is a misdemeanor, punishable by not more than 93 days in jail, and a fine of 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. A third offense domestic violence conviction becomes a felony punishable by not more than two years in prison, and a fine of up to $2,500.00.
