Murfreesboro Domestic Assault Lawyer
What is Domestic Violence?
Domestic assault, also known as domestic violence, occurs when an assault takes place against someone who is related by blood, marriage, a dating relationship, or even a roommate of the defendant.
Assaults can be caused by:
- inflicting physical bodily injury to another person
- creating physical contact with another person that is extremely offensive or provocative
- causing another person to fear imminent bodily injury
In other words, no actual physical contact must take place for someone to be charged with assault.
A domestic relationship is any of the following:
- Spouse
- Former spouse
- Person with whom you have children
- Any person related by blood or marriage
- Roommate
