The Legal Definition of Domestic Assault and Battery
While assault and battery can take place at any time and between anyone, the domestic classification specifies that it is between family members. Specifically, the crime of domestic assault and battery may include:
- A threat or attempt to commit physical violence against a family member
- Instilling fear in a family member
- Uninvited touching or striking
- Intentionally causing bodily harm
Families should provide support and care for one another, not be a source of fear and physical harm. When this trust is broken, there can be long-lasting emotional effects in addition to the physical harm.
