Whether on the Family Law or Criminal Defense side of our firm, domestic violence charges can wreak havoc on a person’s life. Here is a scenario we often see: a couple gets into an argument that turns physical, whether that be an assault or damage to some items in their home. The police are called, often by one of the people involved in the argument or a concerned neighbor calling 911. When the police respond, they separate the couple and interview both of them. After answering what seems like a few simple and sometimes irrelevant questions, the police decide to arrest one of the people involved in the argument and potentially charge them with domestic violence or domestic disturbance. Unfortunately, with Arizona domestic violence charges, once the police are involved and an arrest decision is made, the alleged victim cannot stop the process by simply saying that they don’t want their partner to be prosecuted.
