Domestic Violence Part I
There are two basic ways the prosecutor files domestic violence cases, both of which must involve a person committing an act against a spouse/family member, cohabitant, boyfriend/girlfriend, or the mother/father of their child. One important thing to note is that if convicted of any crime constituting domestic violence, in addition to possible custody time, the person will be required to enroll and complete a 52-week "Batterer's Treatment Program," pay expensive fees/costs, and often times abide by a protective order.
