What Happens When Police Are Called For Domestic Disputes?
Domestic disputes have the potential to spiral out of control quickly as a result of one partner or a neighbor calling law enforcement. When police are called, more often than not, one party to the altercation will be arrested. Florida law requires those arrested for domestic battery to be held with no bond. This means that someone arrested for domestic violence will have to stay in jail until a judge, usually at a first appearance, sets a bond. Also, at a first appearance, the judge may order certain conditions of release.
What are the Conditions For Domestic Battery Charges?
The most common conditions for domestic battery charges are that the defendant has no contact with the alleged victim in the case and that the defendant refrain from returning to the property where the incident took place. Obviously, these conditions could cause significant hardships for the defendant, the most problematic of all being that the defendant may be forbidden from returning home. It is VERY IMPORTANT that the defendant not violate these preliminary orders, as additional charges could be filed. It is possible to have these preliminary court orders dissolved under certain circumstances.
Can the Victim Drop Charges For Domestic Battery?
Contrary to popular belief, the alleged victim cannot “drop charges.” It is only the State Attorney who can prevent formal charges from being filed or alternatively decide to drop charges that are already filed. Call the Bradenton domestic battery defense attorneys at Fowler Law Group to discuss the specifics of your case and develop a strategy to help you put this episode behind you.
