Domestic assault is a serious criminal offence and the Courts view this type of assault as very serious in nature. Due to the fact that the victim knows their assailant, often in a familial relationship, those charged with, found guilty/convicted of domestic assault often face harsher penalties and consequences.
All couples, whether married or cohabitating will have disagreements and disputes over various matters. Domestic assault includes acts of pushing, shoving, hitting, throwing objects – any application of force without the other’s consent.
