Domestic Violence

The one certainty about any complaint of domestic violence — stalking, groping, harassment, sexual assault, terroristic threats — is that someone is going to jail right away, no questions asked. This is because many California law enforcement agencies have a “zero tolerance” policy for domestic violence. If police are called to a scene, the parties will be separated by someone going to jail.

Were you unfairly accused of domestic violence? Were you the victim of a dubious “he said, she said” situation? Were you never allowed to give your side of the story?

Under Penal Code § 273.5, anyone who willfully inflicts corporal injury upon his or her spouse or cohabitant, or the parent of his or her child, and causes a traumatic condition, can be sentenced to two, three, or four years in state prison or up to a year in the county jail and fined up to $6,000, or both a fine and imprisonment. Probation may even require the defendant to pay the victim’s counseling expenses and pay up to $5,000 to a battered women’s shelter. Penal Code § 273.5(h).

Factors to be considered in determining if two people are cohabitants include sexual relations, shared finances, joint use of property, continuity of the relationship, and the length of the relationship.
