Domestic violence is a legal term and sentence enhancer that applies to criminal offenses allegedly committed by one person against an intimate partner or family member. The list of offenses that can lead to domestic violence charges is extensive, ranging from serious felonies like second-degree assault to misdemeanor offenses such as harassment, criminal mischief, and threats.

Domestic violence can also be charged in municipal courts, with penalties including significant fines and lengthy confinement. Often, the underlying offense is an act of coercion, control, intimidation, or revenge, with common charges including:
 

  • Assault
  • Harassment
  • Criminal mischief
  • Threats
  • Trespass
  • Disturbing the peace
