Domestic Violence Charges
Domestic violence is broadly defined as a pattern of abusive behaviors enacted by one or both partners in an intimate relationship—usually in regards to parent-children relationships or romantic/spousal relationships. It can take many forms including:
- Physical Abuse: Hitting, kicking, biting, punching, slapping, etc.
- Sexual Abuse: This involves one person forcing sexual behavior apart from the other person’s explicit consent.
- Controlling or Domineering Behaviors: This can involve threats, yelling, or verbal abuse.
- Intimidation: Also involves threats, yelling, or verbal abuse.
- Stalking: Unwanted, obsessive attention from one individual towards another.
- Passive Abuse (Neglect): This occurs when one is responsible to provide care for a victim who is unable to care for oneself, but fails to provide adequate care to meet the victim's needs.

The legal consequences for domestic violence can be severe depending on the extent and severity of the abuse. If you are facing domestic violence charges, it is in your best interest to contact an experienced Phoenix domestic violence lawyer as soon as possible.
