What is Domestic Battery?

Domestic Battery is defined under Penal Code 243(e)(1) as the willful and illegal touching of an intimate partner that is harmful or offensive. https://www.sddvattorney.com While domestic battery is often referred to in common terms as spousal battery, battery does not need to be committed against a spouse to qualify under PC 243(e)(1). Instead, violence can qualify as domestic battery if it occurs between any two people who have/had an intimate relationship. An intimate partner can be a person’s current spouse or former spouse, current cohabitant or former cohabitant, current fiancée or former fiancée, current dating partner or former dating partner, or someone with whom a person has a child. It is possible for a defendant to be declared guilty of domestic battery even if the alleged victim does not sustain a visible injury of any kind, as the law only requires the use of force against an intimate partner for an action to be deemed domestic battery.
