Domestic Violence
Everyone has disagreements, and sometimes they escalate. In some cases, someone even snaps or loses control. In situations like these, it is not uncommon for one intimate partner (partner, spouse, boyfriend / girlfriend) to make accusations against the other. In many cases, accusations are untrue, and are made by someone who is angry or emotional or who may want revenge.
Domestic violence accusations often relate to difficult and emotional family matters, such as:
- Divorce
- Child custody
- Child support
Unfortunately, if someone has accused you of domestic violence, your life has already been turned upside down, even if you are innocent. You may be facing criminal charges, which carry significant penalties if you are convicted. Criminal charges and convictions have a negative impact on nearly every aspect of your life.
In California, a domestic violence conviction can result in the following penalties:
- Jail time
- Fines or restitution
- Restraining order
- Loss of custody
- Loss of gun rights
- A permanent criminal record
- Deportation
