Negley Law, APC helps clients in Ventura and across Ventura County to get the protection they need.

What Is Domestic Violence?

Charges of domestic violence cover a wide number of offenses. A spouse does not have to physically harm you or a family member in order to qualify for a domestic violence charge. The serious threat of violence, harassment, or stalking is enough to warrant legal action.

An abusive act is considered domestic violence when the perpetrator is:

• A current or former spouse
• A current or former registered domestic partner
• A current of former dating partner
• Living with the victim or formally living with the victim in more than a roommate capacity
• The other parent of your child or children
• Closely related to you, such as your parent, sibling, child, grandparent, or in-law

It is also important to note that domestic violence can be more than physical abuse, such as punching, kicking, or hitting. While these intentional acts are grounds for domestic violence, a victim may also seek protection from a perpetrator who has threatened them or their children, has harassed or stalked a victim, has destroyed the victim’s personal property, has prevented the victim from coming and going, or has physically abused a family pet. In these cases, it is vital you seek protection as soon as possible.

Domestic Violence & Your Children

Domestic violence can be exceedingly troubling for children. Watching a parent get violent can have profound psychological effects on a child's life and well-being. In many cases, just witnessing domestic violence is enough to severely and irreparably traumatize a child. If your spouse has directed violent actions or threats against you or a family member, a legal step can and should be taken.
