Domestic Violence Explained:
Domestic Violence means violence, or threats of violence, to:
A spouse (either husband or wife)
A person you are cohabiting (living) with, or
A person who is the other parent of your child

Offenses in the "domestic violence" category include spousal abuse, assault, battery, threatening phone calls, criminal threats, damaging a phone line, and witness or victim intimidation. Once you are arrested, you should not try to reason with or confront a victim or witness because this may lead to more charges. You should turn the entire matter over to a skilled criminal lawyer as soon as possible.

Law Enforcement Prosecutes Whether or Not Victim Agrees
Domestic violence crimes are prosecuted by law enforcement agencies even when the alleged victim refuses to press charges or takes back ("recants") the claims of abuse. There do not need to be other witnesses. This means that even if you and your spouse or live-in have reconciled, the case will likely go forward, and you will need a skilled criminal attorney to help you. Potential penalties for spousal abuse are severe and an experience domestic violence attorney is essential to obtain the best result under the facts and law.
