Domestic Abuse
Domestic Abuse charges in the state of Wisconsin should be taken seriously.
Facts About Domestic Abuse in Wisconsin
In Wisconsin, an additional penalty is added to any crimes committed against certain people in which a domestic relationship exists at the time the alleged crime was committed. A charge of domestic abuse, alone, is not the criminal offense in Wisconsin; rather, it is considered an enhancement penalty for committing a crime against a person who falls under the above categories. Wis. Stat. 973.055
A charge of Domestic Abuse will be attached to any crime involving allegations that a person committed a crime such as a battery, disorderly conduct, and/or sexual assault against a:
• Spouse or former spouse;
• Adult Roommate or former roommate; or
• An Adult with whom the accused has a child
72-hour No Contact Conditions of Bail:
- If charged with a crime involving domestic abuse circumstances, Wisconsin law prohibits the accused from having contact with the victim and the victim’s residence for 72 hours following the arrest. A violation of this order can lead to additional criminal charges.
- Domestic abuse-related charges often involve disputes between loved ones. Therefore, the consequences of a conviction for a domestic abuse-related charge can have lasting effects on the accused’s personal relationships, home life, and parental rights.
