Los Angeles Spousal Abuse Attorney
Spousal Abuse Defense
Spousal abuse is a form of domestic violence that can include physical, sexual abuse and emotional abuse, as well as threats of violence,
harassment,
stalking and destruction of personal property. Once charges have been filed against a marital partner for spousal abuse, they cannot be rescinded. The District Attorney will continue to pursue the case even if the spouse who filed the complaint changes their mind. You may also be subject to a domestic violence
restraining order if one is requested. When any children are involved and they have been witnesses to the alleged abuse, additional child endangerment charges can also be filed.
