Florida Domestic Violence & Domestic Battery Charges

Domestic violence is covered under Florida assault and battery law, as this is a form of violent crime that involves attempting to cause or causing injury to another person. The factor that classifies an act as domestic violence will be the nature of the relationship between the alleged offender and victim. If the victim is a spouse, ex-spouse, cohabitant, family member or parent of a shared child, any act of physical abuse, sexual abuse or emotional abuse may be considered domestic violence. Whether this is a first offense or if the defendant is accused of being a repeat offender, he or she will be in danger of facing imprisonment and fines. Domestic violence may be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony offense in Florida, depending on the nature of the offense as well as the defendant's prior criminal record, if any.
