What Constitutes Verbal Abuse?
Domestic abuse can manifest in many ways and occurs when an individual knowingly and intentionally causes harm to the physical or emotional well-being of a family member. Verbal abuse can include a number of actions such as isolation, belittlement, coercion, purposeful embarrassment, or threats. Legally, the threat of violence may constitute abuse even if it is never followed by a physical action. The alleged victim may be able to claim that they had a reasonable belief that their immediate safety or the safety of children had been compromised. All charges of abuse must be handled with the utmost respect as a conviction can be punishable by a harsh prison sentence as well as steep fines. The circumstances of every case will be different, and if you have questions about the charges against you, do not hesitate to contact our firm today.
