Domestic Offences

Domestic offences are often more complex than regular assault offences, because domestic offences deal with spouses or partners in the context of an intimate relationship. Such cases are often treated more harshly by the Courts, because their domestic nature is considered an aggravating circumstance.

What are domestic offences?

Domestic offences can be referred to by many names:

  • Domestic assault
  • Domestic violence
  • Intimate Partner Violence

When dealing with domestic offences, the above phrases all refer to the same category of charges, an assault committed against a spouse, partner, or person with whom you maintain an intimate relationship. Any assault charges can qualify as domestic offences, if it is alleged to have been committed against an intimate partner. 

Examples of assault-related offences that can constitute domestic offences are listed below:

  • Assault
  • Assault with a Weapon
  • Assault Causing Bodily Harm
  • Aggravated Assault
  • Sexual Assault
  • Forcible confinement
  • Utter threats
  • Criminal Harassment

The above can all be charged independently, but if found to occur in a domestic context, they can constitute domestic offences. Our team of experienced criminal lawyers are aware that allegations of domestic offences can accompany immigration or family law proceedings. If your charges are false and being used to gain advantage in another proceeding, our experienced criminal lawyers will work to uncover those lies, and structure the best defence for your domestic offences.

Our experienced criminal lawyers will listen to your goals, and fight for the result you want.

How an Experienced Assault Lawyer Can Help You

An experienced criminal defence lawyer, well versed in domestic offences law will be critical to winning your case. An experienced domestic offence lawyer will identify the issues in your case, and give you proper guidance through this stressful process. 

If being charged with any domestic offences, you should call a domestic offence lawyer immediately. The police may want to interview you about the domestic offences. The police can lie to you to encourage you to answer questions:

  1. The police may say that they are just investigating, and have not yet decided to lay charges.
  2. They may say that they just want to hear your side of the story.
  3. The police may comment that they just want to complete their file by getting everyone’s version of events.
  4. The police may try to guilt you into providing answers by suggesting that “if you were innocent, you would just tell your side of the story.”

Every person in Canada has the right to remain silent. A refusal to answer police questions, or provide your version of events, is not a sign of guilt.

An experienced criminal defence lawyer will make sure that you are aware of that right, as well as all of the other rights you have throughout the process.  Specifically, an experienced domestic offence lawyer will be able to identify any indirect consequences of your case. These consequences can include:

  1. Ongoing non-communication / no-contact Orders with your partner (the victim), your family members, or your children.
  2. Employment consequences that may come about as a result of a conviction.
  3. Travel restrictions that may be imposed as a result of being convicted of domestic violence offences.
  4. Immigration consequences, including the potential for deportation of non-Canadian citizens.
  5. Impacts in family or civil court proceedings, such as custody disputes, or restraining Orders.

These are not items that readily come to mind when you think of being charged with a domestic offences, but an experienced domestic offence lawyer will be thinking of these issues immediately. An experienced domestic offence lawyer will ensure that you are informed of all of these items.
