What is Domestic Violence?

Many people believe that physical contact, such as hitting, must occur for domestic violence charges to be filed. This is not true. In Arizona, many actions can be construed as domestic violence, such as:

Domestic assault: Intentionally causing injury, recklessly causing injury, or touching with intent to cause injury
Disturbing the peace: Disturbing the peace of your neighborhood or disturbing the peace of your spouse
Criminal damage: Simply breaking something, even something small and of nominal value
Disorderly conduct: Provoking your spouse or domestic partner or causing other disorderly conduct
Violating protective orders: Violating restraining orders by entering the household, calling, or making other prohibited contact before the protective order expires
