Domestic violence encompasses many different types of crimes involving the use of threats, force or intimidation by one family member against another. It is also a term used to describe acts of violence involving a domestic partnership or a person you live with; as well as a boyfriend, girlfriend or fiancé. Accusations of domestic violence are extremely serious and can result in restraining orders that will force you to move out of your home and prevent you from having any further contact with the alleged victim.
