    Examples of Domestic Assault and Battery

    Though both assault and battery are characterized by violence, they are two different criminal offenses. For someone to be charged with battery, actual physical harm must be caused to the victim. However, the mere presence of a threat, written or otherwise, must be present to merit an assault charge. So while a threat can be enough for an assault charge, examples of battery might include:

    • Hitting / kicking / shoving a domestic partner or spouse
    • Hitting / kicking / shoving a child / roommate
    • Pushing / aggressively brushing against a person in the home
    • Using a weapon to cause harm

    Any of the above examples can constitute domestic violence or abuse. Whether you have suffered from assault or battery, you should not be subjected to experiencing abuse of any kind. Fortunately, victims of abuse can often be helped by the knowledge of a skilled attorney.
