 Domestic
violence, broadly defined, is violence
within a home. Beyond this, the term has a range
of definitions, some more and some less formal,
that are frequently used with little awareness
that a range of definitions exists. Domestic
violence can be both physical and / or
psychological.
Whatever its form, domestic
violence often dis-empowers, subjugates and
violates its victims.
Many offenses may fall under the general
category of domestic violence, including:
-
Assault
-
Battery
-
Child Abuse
-
Elderly Abuse
-
Kidnapping
|
-
Sexual assault
-
Harassment
-
Stalking
-
False
imprisonment
|
If arrested for a domestic violence
infraction, you could initially be subject to restraining orders, protective orders,
and no-contact provisions as a condition of pre-trial release. In
many states, law enforcement
has adopted a zero tolerance policy. In other words, if there is a
call involving domestic violence, someone is going to jail.
The
court system has has also become a more proactive force in the fight
against domestic violence, implementing often
times denying bond or
imposing no contact conditions of release, which typically separates
families for the months while resolving domestic violence cases.
Prosecuting attorneys have taken an active role in strictly
enforcing both new and existing domestic violence laws.
With regard to
domestic violence charges, it is extremely important to speak with a qualified
domestic
violence attorney who will inform you of all your options and
help protect your rights and those of your family by moving to set
aside no contact provisions and forcing the State to honor the
victims wishes.
An experienced
domestic violence attorney always vigorously fights
for the legal rights of their client while striving to
obtain the best possible resolution regarding any
domestic violence
matter.
