What Is Domestic Violence?

Domestic violence is charged under California Penal Code 243 and is defined as physical violence, against a fiancé, spouse, partner, or parent of your child as a serious crime. Under a California law, you can be charged with domestic violence if you have been accused of making threats of physical violence, emotional, verbal, or sexual abuse to anyone in the protected class.
