  • Emotional and Psychological Abuse: Threats, intimidation, and harassment.
  • Sexual Abuse: Unwanted sexual contact or coercion.
  • Stalking and Cyberstalking: Repeated, unwanted, and intrusive behavior, both online and offline.

Domestic violence charges can have serious legal consequences, including criminal penalties, restraining orders, and long-term effects on your personal and professional life.
