State Crimes Domestic Violence | Misdemeanor Assault/Domestic Violence: Arizona Domestic Violence Lawyers |
The Arizona revised statute defines "assault": it occurs when a person
either intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causes any physical
injury to another person; or knowingly touches another person with the
intent to injure, insult or provoke; or intentionally places another
person in reasonable apprehension of imminent physical injury.The state mostly charges misdemeanor assault as a class one (1) misdemeanor. A conviction for domestic violence can be used against you in the future in a Child Custody/ Divorce proceedings. Further, you could get jail time and the court can require you to attend mandatory counseling. In recent years, Arizona laws regarding domestic violence have undergone several changes. The county attorney and city attorneys are now aggressively prosecuting all reported incidents of violence in the home. Today, such crimes are prosecuted even in cases where the victim refuses to press charges or recants initial claims of abuse.
