When Domestic Charges Apply
Domestic violence is a term used to describe threats, acts of violence, abuse, or other similar acts between family members or cohabitants. Domestic violence charges may apply if you are accused of committing or attempting to commit an act of violence or abuse against:
- Someone you live with
- A romantic partner
- Your spouse or ex-spouse
- The parent of your child
Law enforcement personnel, prosecutors, legislators, and judges alike take domestic violence charges very seriously. In fact, were you aware that the prosecuting attorney can file domestic violence charges against you even if the alleged victim does not want to? The prosecution has the sole discretion in deciding whether to move forward with a case, even if a victim retracts his or her claim of violence or abuse. The court may also establish and enforce a restraining order that could prohibit you from contacting or coming within a certain distance of the alleged victim. You could even be forced to move out of your family home.
Make sure your rights are protected. Involve an Atascadero domestic violence attorney who will move fast to challenge restraining orders, investigate your case, and begin building an aggressive defense against domestic violence allegations.
