What Is Domestic Assault?Domestic assault is any criminal act that involves physical, sexual, or psychological abuse within an intimate or family relationship. A domestic assault allegation can arise out of an argument between spouses or disciplining a child.

There are two sides to every story. Nowhere is that more true than in domestic violence cases, which often come down to "he said, she said" claims. Unfortunately, when investigating allegations of domestic assault, police often put more weight on what she said than on what he said.
