What Constitutes Domestic Violence in Florida?

Florida defines domestic violence as any action, battery, assault, or criminal offense that results in the physical injury or death of a family or household member.

In order to qualify for domestic violence, these actions must have been taken by another member of the family or household. People who match this description include:

  • Current or former spouses
  • Anyone that is related via blood or marriage
  • Anyone living in the same house
  • Two people with children, regardless of marital status

Penalties For Florida Domestic Violence Charges

Anyone that is found guilty of domestic violence in Florida must serve a year’s worth of probation while at the same time attending an intervention program that usually lasts 26 weeks. These penalties are the absolute minimum and can increase in severity based on the number of charges. For example, those who intentionally inflict harm that results in bodily injury will see a jail sentence of no less than 5 days.

Domestic violence is also considered a first-degree misdemeanor that may come with a 1-year prison sentence and a $1,000 fine. The judge may also consider adding community service hours if he or she feels it’s appropriate.
