Family violence occurs when one family member or household member attempts to dominate another through force, threats, and abuse. The abuse can include verbal abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and financial abuse. It is a crime for anyone to cause any physical injury or fear of harm, even if the person is a family member or member of your household.
