Understanding Aggravated Domestic Assault under Florida Criminal Laws

According to Florida State law, domestic violence can occur between those that are spouses or former spouses, individuals that are living together as family currently or have done so in the past (even if not married), those that are relatives by blood or marriage (including in-laws), and those that have a child in common. When one of these relationships is present between the accused and alleged victim and an other wise aggravated assault occurs, this is now considered an aggravated domestic assault charge. The use of a weapon, of any type, or severe injuries resulting from the assault or battery, or the knowledge that the victim was pregnant at the time, will make the case aggravated and thus elevated to a more serious charge and punishment.
