  • Domestic violence charges against you mean you have been charged with making violent threats or being violent with someone. It’s more than simply having an argument with someone. It goes beyond that and may include being physical, threatening someone, stalking someone, etc.
  • Sometimes people who bring about domestic violence charges do so only to try and hurt the person they are having a disagreement with. It is one way that they know they can leverage power over the person.
