Overview

• Domestic violence is a serious offense that can lead to fines and possible jail time for the accused. This situation can be stressful and intimidating for both parties. Domestic violence in California is an umbrella term that includes all forms of physical, sexual, emotional, and financial abuse. Thus, someone doesn't need to have inflicted physical abuse to be categorized as domestic violence. Any threat, intimidation, or emotional harm by any family member to another falls under domestic violence.
