Flint Domestic Violence Attorney
Defense Against Domestic Violence Charges in Flint
A family, marriage, divorce or relationship does not give anyone the right to abuse or threaten anyone, nor does it entitle anyone to be subjected to this behavior. Although women are usually the victims of domestic violence, other instances of abuse involve spouses, domestic partners, children and the elderly. Abuse is not limited to physical harm, as it also encompasses neglect of those unable to take care of themselves.
If you have been charged with domestic violence, it can affect the most important parts of your life; your employment, your family, and the respect of everyone in your life is at risk. When the stakes are high, it is critical to get in touch with a Flint criminal defense lawyer at once to discuss your situation.
You should not enter a dispute without solid legal assistance. Some examples of domestic violence are:
- Assault, beating and molesting
- Battery
- Stalking
- Disorderly conduct
- Criminal trespass on private property or a workplace
- Kidnapping and false imprisonment
- Reckless endangerment
- Child abuse and molestation
- Committing rape or sexual assault
- Removing children from the home without permission
- Restraining order violations
- Interfering with the removal of children against a court order
- Harassing phone calls and emails
It is plain to see that domestic violence is by no means restricted to overtly violent acts. According to Michigan law, domestic violence can be physical, emotional, sexual, economic or psychological. The mere threat of any these actions still constitutes domestic violence.
