Abogado Violencia Dom�stica Virginia

Alice18 Jan, 2023Business

State law describes Domestic Violence as intentional assault and battery on a family member in Virginia; these charges are heard in the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. Normal assault and battery charges are heard by the general district court. There is no difference in the nature of the sanctions imposed, but if the victim of the assault were a child (under a certain age), the consequences would be harsher than usual.
