WHAT IS DOMESTIC ASSAULT?

Domestic assault refers to any act of physical violence, threats, or abusive
behavior directed towards an intimate partner, including a current or former
spouse, common-law partner, or dating partner. These acts are often
characterized by patterns of control and coercion, and they are taken very
seriously by law enforcement and the judicial system. 

In Canada, while domestic assault is not a separate criminal offence under the
Criminal Code, those accused can face charges such as assault, aggravated
assault, or sexual assault, often resulting in severe penalties due to the
intimate relationship between the victim and the offender.


SHOULD I PLEAD GUILTY?

Deciding whether to plead guilty is a significant choice that should not be
taken lightly. It is crucial to understand the implications and possible
outcomes of a guilty plea, including any penalties or long-term consequences.
Consulting with a criminal lawyer can help you make an informed decision.
