Many people assume that domestic violence only occurs in dating or marital relationships, but there are many other relationships or situations in which you could be accused of domestic violence in Arizona. Some examples include:
Brothers/Sisters
Parent/Child
Roommates
Grandparents
Stepchildren
Estranged girlfriend/boyfriend
Domestic violence doesn’t always involve physical violence, either. Disorderly conduct, harassment, threats, criminal damage and kidnapping are all examples of domestic violence. Furthermore, police have the right to arrest a person if they have probably cause that domestic violence took place, even if they did not witness the acts themselves and if even both parties were involved.
If you have been accused or charged with domestic violence, you could face significant consequences such as fines, jail time and probation.
