Domestic Violence is defined as "intentionally or recklessly causing or attempting to cause bodily injury, or placing another person in reasonable apprehension of imminent, serious bodily injury to himself, herself or another." Domestic violence can occur between spouses, partners, former partners or spouses, children, individuals involved in a dating relationship, or the elderly.
Society views domestic violence and/or spousal abuse as a cowardly crime and will often assume that you are guilty by the very fact that you have been charged. In California, law enforcement agencies have the power to arrest you for domestic violence even if the alleged victim disagrees. Even though it may be established that you did not commit the offense, the implied guilt can affect you emotionally and financially for the rest of your life.

There are many organizations in California that offer domestic violence counseling, and if you think you may be capable of injuring a loved one, you should consider contacting a qualified domestic abuse counselor without delay.
