What Constitutes Domestic Abuse in Louisiana?
In Louisiana, domestic abuse refers to violence or threats of violence committed by one household or family member against another. This includes spouses, former spouses, co-parents, or intimate partners. Acts of domestic abuse can include physical violence, emotional abuse, sexual assault, stalking, or threats of harm. Louisiana law also covers domestic abuse battery, which occurs when one person intentionally harms another within a domestic relationship.
Louisiana takes domestic abuse seriously, and the legal consequences can be severe. Depending on the circumstances, penalties for a domestic abuse conviction can range from fines and mandatory counseling to imprisonment, with the possibility of enhanced penalties for repeat offenses or situations involving serious injury. Additionally, a domestic abuse charge can lead to protective orders that restrict contact between the accused and the alleged victim.
