Domestic Violence Laws in Franklin

Domestic violence extends beyond intimate partnerships to include various interpersonal connections within a household. This involves individuals who commit assault or battery against a spouse or former spouse, a current or former dating partner, someone with whom they share parenthood, or any person residing or previously residing in the same household. It’s essential to acknowledge that domestic violence can occur among family members, household occupants, or individuals in dating relationships, regardless of marital status or gender. This broader perspective emphasizes the complexity of domestic violence cases and underscores the necessity of addressing the issue comprehensively within the legal system.

Domestic Violence Penalties in Franklin, MI

Typically, a first offense of domestic violence is classified as a misdemeanor, although specific circumstances may warrant more severe charges. Initially, you could face a maximum sentence of 90 days in jail and a fine of $500. For subsequent offenses, charges may escalate, potentially resulting in a year of imprisonment and a $1000 fine. Repeat offenses could lead to up to five years of incarceration and a $5000 fine. Additionally, a domestic violence charge may restrict your right to possess firearms and limit job opportunities.
