“We have to arrest somebody.”

These words are often heard right before you are arrested for a Domestic Battery. Because of the media attention spawned by the OJ Simpson trial, most law enforcement agencies have an unwritten policy, that if they respond to a Domestic Battery call, they must arrest one of the participants. Once an arrest is made, you are “in the system” and you will need help finding your way out.

Unfortunately, this policy often causes an innocent party to be removed from the home, spend the night in jail and places an immediate no contact order from the Court between you and your spouse. Recent changes have enhanced penalties for Domestic Battery such as an immediate no bond, enhancements to a Felony charge if this is a second offense, and even mandatory jail time if there is an injury. Furthermore, these types of cases may actually effect your parental rights either now or in the future.
