Fighting For The Best Possible Future
Domestic violences claims can lead to other things, such as an order for protection (OFP). This is a separate case in which the defendant can defend themselves against the order, especially when children are involved. An OFP can cause a parent to not see their biological children. In other words, the matter becomes a legal mess.
Some of the domestic violence claims include:
- Domestic violence claims that involve assault in the first degree, second degree, third degree, fourth degree, or fifth degree.
- Terroristic threats
- Violation of an OFP.
- False imprisonment or kidnapping.
- Felony strangulation.
- Interfering with an emergency call.
- Malicious punishment of a child.
- Child neglect or child abuse.
- An aggravated assault that occurs within the home.
If convicted, the consequences go beyond time in prison and fines. There are collateral consequences caused by the presence of a criminal record and the violent offense that is on that record.
