The term domestic violence refers to abusive behavior in any personal relationship that allows one partner to intimidate, or to gain power and control over the other. This is often thought of to occur between married spouses or in other intimate relationships but actually refers to any family relationship, or persons living in the same home.
Emotion, stress, and false allegations all complicate Domestic Violence law cases. Oftentimes, these cases involve no witnesses. This fact may lead to quick, uninformed decisions made by the police and/or prosecutor, which, in turn, may lead to an innocent party being formally charged.
