Domestic Violence Laws in Plymouth, Michigan

Domestic violence spans beyond intimate partner bonds, encompassing diverse interpersonal ties within a household. This involves individuals who perpetrate assault or battery against a spouse or former spouse, a current or former dating partner, someone with whom they share parenthood, or any individual residing or previously residing in the same residence. Acknowledging that domestic violence can manifest among family members, cohabitants, or individuals in dating relationships, regardless of marital status or gender, is pivotal. This broader perspective underscores the intricate nature of domestic violence cases and underscores the necessity for a holistic approach within the legal system.

Typically, a first domestic violence offense is categorized as a misdemeanor, although certain circumstances may warrant more severe charges. You could potentially receive a sentence of up to 90 days in jail and a fine of $500. For subsequent offenses, charges may escalate, possibly resulting in a year of incarceration and a $1000 fine.
