Domestic violence refers to any abusive behavior used by one partner to gain or maintain control over another in an intimate relationship. This can include physical harm, emotional abuse, threats, harassment, or other coercive acts. California law defines domestic violence broadly to protect victims and hold offenders accountable.
Cases typically involve obtaining protective orders, responding to allegations, and possibly criminal defense. The process may begin with filing a petition for a restraining order or responding to a court summons. Evidence gathering, witness statements, and court hearings are critical steps that require careful legal guidance to ensure proper representation.
Understanding the terminology used in domestic violence cases helps clarify the legal process and your options. Below are some important terms frequently encountered.
