What is Domestic Violence?: Some people are under the impression that if you are not married the arrest cannot be considered domestic violence. That is not true in terms of the law. You can be arrested under domestic violence if you have any altercation with a spouse, someone you are dating, someone you have a child with or even between siblings and parents. The violence that can occur can be from pushing, hitting, punching or any abuse that includes emotional. There is usually a buildup of things that happen to cause a spouse of relative to act out in a certain way that includes any level of violence. It is best to avoid a volatile relationship with anyone so that you are not stuck getting arrested for reacting or acting out.
Who Presses Charges for Domestic Violence?: When you are in a fight with a loved one or someone that you had any level of intimate relations with you could be arrested. The person that you are fighting with can call the police on you and tell them the situation. An officer will arrive on the scene and take a report on the story and what they deduce has likely happened. The person that has been deemed the aggressor of the person that has injured another will be arrested. The problem is that the person you are in a fight with is not the only person that can call on you. A neighbor that overhears the fight or someone who can see what is happening can also call. The officer may pull up and see the fight in progress and take the arrest into their own hands.

The odds of being released on bail is likely as long as there aren’t any serious charges still pending. You want to make sure that you use a bail service to get you out and be sure that you have a place to go to not cause more unrest at the house.
