Penalties for Domestic Violence in Ohio

Cincinnati Domestic Violence Attorney

Most domestic violence charges begin as a misdemeanor. In some cases, they could become a felony if you have a certain previous criminal history already established. If you are in the military or serve as a police officer, a conviction of domestic violence will end your career. A domestic violence misdemeanor can be brought on by something as small as a scratch.

  • Penalties for misdemeanor charges include:
  • A maximum of 6 months in jail
  • Significant fines
  • Costs of going to court
  • A maximum of 5 years probation in addition to time in jail

In addition to these penalties, the convicted may never be able to possess a firearm, never be able to have the charge expunged, and may have to be subject to a civil protection order. The severity of domestic violence charges escalates according to the number of prior charges that a defendant has. A second charge of domestic violence is considered a felony.
