Domestic Violence Laws in Florida
In Florida, domestic violence means committing a violent crime, sex crime, or any criminal offense causing physical injury or death against a family or household member, such as a current or former spouse, dating partner, relative, or even roommate.
The most common type of domestic violence offense in the state is domestic battery, which means intentionally hitting or touching someone else without consent, or inflicting bodily harm on another individual. Domestic battery is a first-degree misdemeanor, punishable by a maximum jail term of one year and a fine not exceeding $1,000.
However, if the offense involves intentionally impeding a loved one’s breathing or blood circulation, you could be charged with domestic battery by strangulation. This offense is a third-degree felony, which carries a prison sentence of up to five years and a maximum fine of $5,000.
