In 1984, when the California Legislature enacted the Law Enforcement Response to Domestic Violence Act (Penal Code 13700-13731), it stated:

"A significant number of homicides, aggravated assaults, and assaults and batteries occur within the home between adult members of families. Research has shown that 35 to 40 percent of all assaults are related to domestic violence."

FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT A SPECIFIC TOPIC, PLEASE CLICK ON ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:

  • Spousal Abuse/Partner Abuse: Whether you are a husband, wife, or domestic partner, you can be arrested for domestic violence if the police decide you struck or threatened another member of the household.
  • Child Abuse: When parental discipline crosses the line and becomes child abuse, there can be severe consequences for the alleged abuser.
  • Elder Abuse: Elderly people are often vulnerable and unable to protect themselves. When a member of the household or a caretaker is suspected of abuse, the police take the matter seriously.
  • Restraining Orders: When a judge issues a restraining order, that order can affect your family relationships and your home access.
  • Penalties: A criminal domestic violence conviction can mean jail time, mandatory counseling, and anger management training.
  • Family Law: Domestic violence charges are often involved in divorce actions. Our domestic violence lawyers can advise you about the domestic violence charges and recommend an experienced family law attorney at Stolar & Associates. Call toll-free (866) 481-7644.
