Dallas Domestic Violence
The state recognizes marriage or a domestic relationship as a legal union or social partnership between people. Couples who belong in a domestic relationship would ideally love, understand and respect each other. However, this is not always the case. Most relationships are often fraught with problems that can lead to a couple’s estrangement.
Domestic violence is one of the most common problems that marriages and relationships face. It is a pattern of behavior in which one partner in a relationship uses physical, sexual, emotional, or economic abuse to control the other partner.
Other Possible Defense
Arrest Errors. The police may also make mistakes when arresting domestic violence suspects. If the police did not have probable cause to arrest you, then your Dallas domestic violence attorney can get the charges against you dropped or dismissed.
Intoxication. You may claim that you were too intoxicated to form the requisite intent to commit domestic violence. Though this is not a common defense, it may be applicable in some cases.
Temporary Insanity. Also, you could claim that you were temporarily insane at the time of the alleged offense. This is a tough defense to win, but in some situations, it may work.
This list is not exhaustive, and there may be other defenses available for your case. You should contact an experienced Dallas domestic violence attorney to discuss the specific facts of your case.
