Understanding Domestic Violence in Milwaukee County

According to Wisconsin law, domestic abuse refers to situations in which a person intentionally inflicts physical pain, injury, or illness on or impairs the physical condition of a spouse, former spouse, co-parent or another adult the person shares or has shared a home with. This includes girlfriends and boyfriends if you have lived together or share a child in common. Actions that constitute sexual assault are also considered domestic abuse based on the victim's relationship to the person in question.

Wisconsin laws are extremely strict regarding domestic abuse and require law enforcement officers to make an arrest if they are called out for a domestic violence report and they have reasonable grounds to believe that domestic abuse is being or has been committed. In most such cases, the police will only arrest the person they believe to the "predominant aggressor," which can be very difficult to determine in the moment. As result, it is not uncommon for the police to arrest the wrong person as a result of the ensuing confusion. If you have been arrested for domestic abuse, it is important to seek legal help immediately. Do not give a statement. Call the Bucher Law Group, LLC.

Domestic abuse arrests can lead to wide range of criminal charges including disorderly conduct, battery, criminal damage to property, and sexual assault offenses. Such allegations can also have a serious impact on a person's parental rights, especially during a divorce or child custody proceedings. It also can have a significant effect on your ability to own possess a firearm. At the Bucher Law Group, LLC, we understand the severity of domestic violence charges, and we are equipped to help you.
