Facing allegations of domestic assault are naturally stressful and humiliating. In the hours, days, and weeks following a charge, emotions can run high and may lead a person to make a poor decision that can cause their situation to go from bad to worse.
Once a charge is laid, restrictive conditions will be placed upon you that will prevent your ability to attend at your own home, communicate with your spouse, and sometimes even prevent you from seeing your children.

 Although Domestic Assaults do not have a special designation under the Criminal Code, they are often prosecuted more vigourously than a non-domestic simple assault. Most Crown Attorney's Offices now have specialized teams of lawyers that are specifically trained to deal with these types of offences. Indeed, most Courthouses now have specific courtrooms and exclusive designated juridical days to conduct these prosecutions. There are various witness assistance programs in place at the Courthouse to provide support for Crown witnesses during these proceedings. It can be an intimidating experience for a person accused of such an offence to walk into that Courtroom alone.
