Domestic Violence Laws in NYC
There are a few misconceptions about domestic violence laws in New York.
The first misconception is that people have to be married or even in a romantic relationship to be charged with domestic violence against someone. You can be charged with domestic violence offenses against current or former romantic partners, but also against people in your household or otherwise related by blood - your parents, siblings, or other relatives.
Another misconception is that there needs to be physical violence present. Many domestic violence-related charges don’t require any physical contact: threats, stalking, harassment, and other non-violent accusations can all be considered domestic violence charges. Social media contact, voicemails, text messages, and property damaged during arguments can be used as evidence against you in a domestic violence case.
