Auburn, Sacramento Domestic Assault Attorneys
Individuals involved in romantic relationships sometimes experience highly emotional confrontations. Such episodes can get out of hand, the police can be called, and suddenly one person is facing a domestic violence charge. The consequences of this can be profound.
Consequences of Domestic Violence Charges
If your husband, wife, girlfriend or boyfriend has accused you of domestic violence, you could be removed from the home and prohibited from returning. You may become the subject of a restraining order that prevents you from contacting your accuser in any way. If you are convicted, you are facing anger management classes, fines, jail time and community service. If the argument occurred within the context of a divorce or custody battle, your ability to have child custody or visitation may be affected. The stakes are very high.
