What is Domestic Assault?
Domestic assault is an assault that takes place within a family or an intimate relationship. It typically consists of physical, verbal or threatening accusations and might even include the use of weapons.
Offences can be as minor as a shove or a slap, and as major as a punch or strike with an object. These charges are similar to other assault charges such as assault cause bodily harm, aggravated assault or any other criminal harassment or threatening death or injury.
