What Kind of Behavior is Considered Domestic Violence?
Generally, domestic violence occurs when an individual causes bodily
injury, threatens or causes fear of physical harm in another or abuses a
child. The individual harmed is a family member or person residing in
the household, or who used to reside in the household (this can be a
spouse, cohabiting partner, child or other relative). Some states also
include any individual with control over a child or elderly person as a
family member under the domestic violence statute, the “family member”
does not always have to reside in the same home.
