They are never long enough. I say minimum of 10 years. Any coward who hits a woman should go to the penitentiary and be someone elses beyotch. Lesson learned.

OH MY GOD THAT IS NOT OK!! Violence like that is unacceptable in any relationship. He is punching holes to prove to her his superior strength or something to hold an upper hand in their relationship. Wow. Either they end it now or they end it a year from now. No way can she trust him to honor, protect and cherish her for a lifetime. He "wants" a divorce? She needs one. If I am missing something good in their marriage, good for them. I would tell any woman that a man knows that he isn't supposed to physically threaten any woman... ever. I'm sure he is just great with kids who misbehave. "See the hole daddy just punched in the wall? That might be your head next time, sweetie, so don't wake daddy from his nap ever again because I don't want to hurt you." \n\nYour girlfriend shouldn't have kicked the TV set but I don't blame her for trying to stand up for herself. If her husband was in my circle of friends, my buddies and I would take him out and put the fear of God into him. You just let me hear that you raised your hand in anger against your wife and we'll be all over you with the police on the way. They will haul what is left of your sorry a-s-s to jail to rot. This is a very serious issue. Husband may grow up some day, but not as long as women and his guy friends put up with this kind of sh*t.

Suspended sentence with about 2 to 3 years probation.\n  Next time you will serve time for real.

The sentence will be determined at his trial/court date with the judge.  Right now there is probably a bench warrant out on him, which means he could be picked up and held at any time.  \n\nHe needs to get an attorney and contact the courts.  It will just get worse for him if he doesn't.

Civil contempt: conditional jail sentence, fine not more than $250.00, costs and expenses of the proceedings, damages to injured party (including attorneys fees). He may not get all or any. Depends on the judge. \n\nCriminal contempt: fixed jail sentence up to 30 days, fine of not more than $250.00, costs and expenses of the proceedings, damages to injured party (including attorneys fees). Again, depends on judge. \n\nDon't get me started. I used to work with victims of domestic violence in New York State. It was exceedingly rare for a man to get a fine or any jail time for violating an order of protection. I hope you have better luck than that. Make sure you make a police report and/or file a violation in Family Court (wherever you got your order). I know it's frustrating, but the only hope you have is to keep sending him the message that you will no longer tolerate his behavior! Keep up the good work! And if you want to talk you can contact me. God Bless!

You don't need to be in that kind of marriage, you can do better than that, take pride in yourself, and get out, get away from him, because he may be emotionally abusive right now, but it can turn to physical abuse later, and then it may be too late to get out except by way of a coffin, please, don't make the same mistake I did, I left only after my ex- cut my throat with a piece of barb wire wrapped around my throat, and shot a double barrel shotgun off by my left ear(hard hearing in that ear now) in front of our children.  I thank God for nosy neighbors, that heard everything and called the police, so, I send out praise to all the nosy neighbors in Manchester, Tennessee.   Get out now while you can, ask a friend to help you get out, or you can call the domestic violence shelter, and ask them to help you,, don't become a VICTIM of domestic Violence, be a SURVIVOR.  Best of luck to you and God Bless, I will keep you in my prayers.

Once again, it all depends on what state you are in. But, for a simple example, let's say you go over to someone's house. After a while, you want to leave, but the home owner won't let you leave the house. It can be as simple as that.\n\nThis comes up a lot in domestice violence cases. Being restrained, blocking the doors with your body so the victim can't leave, pinning someone to a bed; these can all be false imprisonment. It can even go as far as putting enough fear into someone so that they feel that they can't leave. \n\nPlease give us more details so we can help.

Options:\n\nCall local law enforcement.\nCall a lawyer.\nCall a womens shelter/womens rights advocate.\nCall a domectic violence hotline.\n\nDon't know how bad it is but if they are living together she should probably arrange a place to stay before doing this.  If the guy gets wind of it she may be in harms way again.\n\nA Domestic Violence Protection Order will also help her get things in order and him ordered to stay away or go to jail.

Oh man, this one is tough!  I have told numerous women to get out of their homes, like right now, in situations like this.  I want to go and kick their heads in for what they do to their wives/girlfriends.  They need to go to jail and they need to be sentenced for each case of abuse and have the prison time set up so it doesn't run concurrent.  These guys need to be in there for a long time.  I would also like to have the prison population know what they are in for too.   I also like the idea of giving the wife free reign on the jerk before they send him away.  Abuse like that or raping your spouse needs some harsh penalties.  I hate them...they are bound to kill someone.  Every 3 minutes in America, a woman is killed by their partner.  I heard this on the news last week.  It is staggering and scary.  These women need to get out and seek help before it is too late.  Good question!

Divorce him. Go to a women's shelter for battered women and get a lawyer to get you a divorce. Dont stay with an abusive man he will never change and may one day kill you.

Domestic Abuse was originated for the purpose of protecting women from abusive men. It was inttended for good but unfortunatley to many women abuse it in order to bias the courts in custody cases and all to often to get revenge. Almost always the courts will side with the plantiff even without any type of proof. I think this is outrageous and there should be a law to siignificatley punish anyone found to be abusing this law. If you are the person filing the charges then I request you be honest and fair. If you are the defendant bieng charge then I strongly suggest you seek a good attorney, however do no rely on them to get to the truth. You must do the research, get you witness, and document, document EVERYTHING, sorry to say if you are a male and charged with such a crime you are more likly than not to be convicted. I am a women myself and find it appalling than when it comes to most custody or divorce cases the so called equal rights ammendant does not count. Good luck to you whether you are the plantiff or the defendant. Remeber in the end truth may not be on your side with the law but will forever be God will prevaill your case if you tell the truth

Not entirely sure what your question is.\n\nCalifornia Penal Code section 273.5 has to do with inflicting corporal injury on a spouse or other person with whom you have that kind of relationship.\n\nSection 243(e)(1) has to with with a battery committed against a person you're in the same kind of relationship with.\n\nHope that helps, was there something specific you were wondering about?  There are plenty of other crimes that can be applied to domestic situations as well, but are not necessarily domestic-related in nature.

Just you asking that could nail you but good.\n\nAttempted assault in most places is good for 60 days to a year in prison.\n\nAttempted murder will get you 5-10 years in the State pen.\n\nI suggest you find some self control and an education before you get a permanent hotel room with bars and a new boyfriend.

Baby Girl, I am so sorry to hear about your husband.  First of all, do you feel that your husband has changed, and will be faithful to you when he gets out, can you forgive, and most of all can you forget.  Are there children from this relationship, and if so what is his likely hood of re-offending and you being alone again. Those are the questions you should be asking yourself. If you believe in him and love him, and can forgive and forget, then give him a second chance...You do love him with all your heart don't you!  Jail changes a man, hopefully yours will change for the better and realize what a wonderfull wife he has waiting for him at home. I hope everything works out for you, the waiting is the hard part, Take care and God bless.  If you want to chat with someone in a similar position you can e-mail me   ms_blackdog@yahoo.ca (it is ca....I am in Canada)
