Domestic Violence Defense

When crimes of violence, stalking, burglary, or other offenses occur between those with a close relationship, it can result in a domestic violence criminal charge. There are three degrees of domestic violence offenses in Alabama.

Offenses become domestic violence offenses when the alleged victim is:

• A current or former spouse
• A parent or step-parent
• A child or stepchild
• A grandparent or step-grandparent
• A grandchild or step-grandchild
• A person with whom the alleged offender had a child
• A household member, which does not include roommates
• A person with a current or former dating relationship with the alleged offender
