Orlando Criminal Defense Attorney

Domestic violence is the abusive, forceful, threatening, or coercive behavior, act, or word against a member of a household by another member of the same household.  This means that domestic violence can be charged against family members, boyfriends and girlfriends, and even roommates.  Individuals need not be married to be charged with domestic violence, even though the most commonly recognized domestic violence charges are against married individuals.  Domestic violence can be characterized as physical assault of another individual, and/or the sexual abuse of another individual.

While domestic violence is also often associated with physical harm against a second party of the same household, it also involves verbal abuse.  Verbal abuse can be defined as threats made against the second party, put-downs that may cause emotional trauma, and yelling at, or screaming at the second party.  Intimidation and controlling behavior also constitutes as domestic abuse, especially if the individual feels too fearful to engage in typical life activities due to threat of harm.  For example, not contacting friends or family under orders of the first party, not being allowed to get or keep a job, not being able to maintain friendships.  It should be noted, however, that psychological and financial abuse are not criminal behaviors in themselves, but can lead to criminal behaviors such as violence.  Furthermore, associated crimes may be levied for criminal threats or stalking.
