Understanding Criminal Defense for Spousal Abuse Charges in Orlando
Once you have been charged, you are typically placed on a restraining order. You will be denied any contact with your abused spouse and will be ordered to complete a batterer’s intervention program. The other penalties you will face will depend upon whether you caused serious bodily harm, whether these acts have been continual, and whether you have a history of abusive behavior.
If you have been charged with spousal abuse in Orlando, there could be defenses available to you including:
- The incident did not rise to the level of criminal spousal abuse
- The complaint was motivated by revenge or a desire for leverage in a divorce case
- Alcohol and drug abuse and their role in a domestic dispute
A large number of charges related to spousal abuse are considered misdemeanors and the penalties can include 6 months to a year in jail. In some instances, you could be charged with a felony and face an extended period of time in prison, especially if there was a weapon present during the altercation.
