Domestic Violence Bail Bond
Domestic Violence Bail Bond
Domestic violence charges are quite serious charges. They can apply to anyone that is violent towards another person they are related to or live in the same dwelling with regardless of age, gender, economic status, religion, ethnicity, education level, immigration status, race, or sexual orientation. It does not matter where they live or what type of dwelling it is. If they defendant and victim are related by blood, marriage, or roommates, they can be charged with domestic violence. Connecticut laws define family as a present or former spouse, parents and their kids, people related by blood or marriage, current or former roommates, people who have a child in common regardless of if they have lived together or were or were not married and two people currently dating.
Domestic charges can be brought against someone that has done one or more of the following: assault, battery, sexual assault, intimidation and even homicide. A restraining order, or order of protection, will be granted for the victim against the defendant. This is done to protect the victim from further danger or harm from the defendant. The victim must report any contact with the defendant. If there is contact that the victim did not initiate, the defendant can be rearrested and charged with violating the protective or restraining order in place by the judge. When you violate the protective or restraining order, you will most likely go back to jail and the bail bond for the domestic violence charge will be forfeited.
In Connecticut, there are many laws in place in regard to domestic violence. If the defendant is guilty or not, there are consequences that come with this charge. The only thing that the judge needs to know is if there was probable cause. If there is a violent situation between two people that live in the same house and one accuses the other of harm, someone will be arrested and charged with domestic violence. If both parties involved have visible injuries, chances are both parties involved will be arrested. Domestic violence is a serious charge and will not be tolerated by law enforcement. The judge will then sort out the facts during your court appearance. The more severe the actions were, the more severe the charge will be. The number of injuries to the victim also play a significant role in determining the charge severity.
