Types of Domestic Violence

One of the most common types of domestic violence is physical abuse, which can range from slapping all the way to injuries that result in death. However, there are more subtle forms of abuse, such as financial abuse, in which a husband may act to prevent his wife from getting a job outside the home or the wife may remove all the money from a joint bank account. This, like many other types of domestic violence, is an attempt to gain control over the partner.

Psychological and emotional abuse are also not uncommon. Bruce Funk Law can hire experts in the field of psychology and medicine who can assist with the evaluation of a domestic abuse case and who can help gather evidence that will support a defense if you’ve been charged or convicted of domestic violence.

Defenses For Domestic Violence Charges

There are many possible defenses for domestic violence charges in California.  A victim could have falsely accused someone in order to ruin his reputation, or the defendant may have acted in self-defense. Some type of accident may have been involved, and a victim may have injuries that are unrelated to the actions of the defendant.

It may also be the case that the defendant simply needs help and treatment rather than jail time. There may be a substance abuse problem, like alcoholism, in which a defendant does not even have memory of what he may or may not have done.
