What Are the Penalties for Domestic Violence in Connecticut?
Under Connecticut law, domestic violence is defined as any act that causes physical injury to a family or household member.
Family or household members include your:
- Spouse
- Former spouse
- Minor children
- Current or former intimate partner
- Relatives
Domestic violence can also be committed against someone related by living together or someone who has a child in common with the defendant. When a person is arrested for domestic violence, the judge will determine whether the defendant will be released on bond. If the judge denies the defendant's bond, the defendant will be held in jail while awaiting trial. The court may also issue a restraining or protective order that may prohibit the defendant from contacting the alleged victim.
What Is a Protective Order?
A protective order is a court order that prohibits the defendant from contacting the alleged victim. This type of order is often issued when a defendant is arrested for domestic violence. A protective order may also prohibit the defendant from contacting other family members.
