Over the last 25 years, California laws regarding domestic violence have undergone several changes, in response to the People v. OJ Simpson trial evidence and other political pressures.

The offices of the District Attorney or City Attorney are now aggressively prosecuting all reported incidents of violence in the home, and prosecuting such crimes even in cases where the victim refuses to press charges or recants initial claims of abuse.

Prosecutors often rely on the psychological phenomenon known as “battered woman’s syndrome”, when explaining why they will not drop or reduce charges when the alleged victim requests that they do so, or when he or she refuses to testify. In some cases, prosecutors will file charges against alleged abusers in the absence of victims or witnesses.

That is why it is so important to have an Orange County Domestic Violence Lawyer on your side.

Family Violence in California

Our state classifies domestic violence as “family violence” cases, which means the violence can occur between different members of the family, not only just spouses.

People involved in this violent action must be any of the following in order for the charge to be domestic violence:

Current or former spouses
Dating couples
Roommates or housemates
Couples who share a child in common

The various actions that could be considered domestic violence include the following:

Causing fear of imminent bodily injury
Sexual abuse or exploitation
Emotional abuse
Neglect, such as depriving spouses, children, or other family members food, a safe shelter, or proper clothing
Economic abuse, such as taking control of a family member’s bank accounts or investments
Causing bodily injury to another: hitting, slapping, choking kicking, or using a weapon as a form of physical abuse
Causing physical contact that could be considered as offensive or provocative

Unlike the assault laws of other states, a police officer does not have to witness domestic violence in order to make an immediate arrest. This means that you could be arrested and charged with the crime of domestic violence based on the word of an angry spouse or out of an act of retaliation. There are many cases in which fraudulent activity results in criminal charges for an innocent person. Attorney Robert Miller understands the embarrassment, fear, and anxiety that you may be experiencing, and you can look to our firm for the legal assistance that you need in your case.
