What Counts as Domestic Violence in California?
“Domestic violence” covers allegations of harm or threats of harm involving people in close relationships (spouses, dating partners, co-parents, family or household members). Charges can include:
- Domestic battery / corporal injury
- Criminal threats, harassment, stalking
- Restraining order violations
- Child endangerment or abuse–related allegations
Because definitions are broad, misunderstandings, heated arguments, or false accusations can lead to arrests, especially when police believe there is probable cause.
Consequences You Could Face
- Jail or prison exposure and probation terms
- Protective (restraining) orders impacting housing and parenting time
- Loss of firearm rights and immigration or licensing complications
- Family law ripple effects, including custody and visitation
Even an accusation can harm your reputation and employment. Quick, informed action matters.
Protective (Restraining) Orders in Downey
Courts may issue emergency, temporary, or long-term orders restricting contact, residence, firearms, and communication (including social media). Accidental violations can trigger new charges.
