A criminal charge is classified as a domestic violence offence if it occurs between two people who are currently or have previously been involved in a romantic relationship. Domestic assault charges often involve allegations of uttering a threat and/or damage (mischief) to property.

There is no separate charge in the Criminal Code for “domestic assault”, however, domestic related offenses are treated more seriously by the courts in ________. Many courthouses have courtrooms designed specifically to deal with “domestic” cases, and Crown attorneys specifically trained to deal with these cases.

A domestic assault conviction can result in jail time or a criminal record, leading to future challenges such as difficulty finding employment and not being able to enter the United States.
