What is the definition of domestic violence? Domestic violence is physical violence, abuse, and threatened violence, that occurs in any of the following relationships:

Even if the accused did not intend to harm or compromise the safety and security of the victim, a threat of a violent act could be grounds for prosecution under Ohio Domestic Violence law.

Domestic violence cases are treated differently than other criminal cases. There are special Domestic Violence Units (DV Units) as well as designated Prosecutors that stand ready to prosecute those who are facing domestic violence charges.

Examples of Domestic Violence Abuse

  • Threats
  • Intimidation
  • Harrassing Phone Calls
  • Stalking
  • Physical Abuse or Assault

Keep in mind that in Ohio, you can be arrested and prosecuted for Domestic Violence even if the victim wishes to drop all charges. In certain cases, such as with Spousal Abuse, it is very difficult for the victim to drop charges against the abuser. The Prosecutor can proceed with the charges even if the violence victim does not go to court. The only one who can drop charges is the prosecutor because the victim is simply a witness in a government prosecution.

Ohio Domestic Violence Law is complex and highly specialized. This is why it is important to secure a lawyer who is skilled, qualified, and knowledgeable in defending Domestic Violence cases in Ohio.
