In Georgia, certain crimes of violence such as Battery or Aggravated Assault are punished more severely if the victim is a family member or a person living in the same household. In addition, some misdemeanors, such as Battery, can be elevated to a felony offense for repeat offenders. If you have been charged with a family violence offense, you need an experienced domestic violence attorney to make sure your voice is heard.

More often than not, when the police respond to a domestic violence call, someone is going to jail. Law enforcement has a public safety concern and will not leave both parties together after a domestic violence call; even if the victim says he or she doesn’t want to press charges. This is especially true if there are children involved.

In addition to fines and probation, a conviction for Family Violence Battery requires completion of the Family Violence Intervention Program. This is a 26 week class that is mandatory by law. Failure to complete the program or missing any classes is a violation of probation and could result in jail time.
