Domestic Assaults

A domestic assault involves an altercation between a couple that escalates to the point of physical harm and/or verbal threats.

When domestic assault occurs, the victim contacts police and, regardless of what the accused claims, police are required place the accused under arrest.

It is worth noting that under Canadian law, even a simple slap of on the wrist, for example, can lead to charges being filed.
