If you have been accused of domestic violence, it is helpful to understand the full nature and extent of the charges. Domestic violence charges carry their own set of legal challenges and penalties, including:
- Alleged victims can not withdraw charges once they've been filed
- A conviction will result in a criminal record, the loss of your ability to carry a firearm, probation and possible jail time
- If you have immigrated to the United States, you may face problems with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
- Child custody challenges
- The loss of your right to enter your own home
Domestic violence charges can include additional charges that increase the challenge of mounting a successful defense. Additional charges can include:
- Threats and intimidation
- Criminal damage
- Disorderly conduct
- Assault
Do your charges include harassment, multiple threats or phone calls, or a weapon? Was property damaged during the alleged domestic violence incident? Was the alleged victim of domestic violence harmed in any way, including even a small mark on an arm?
