Domestic assault charges make up a large portion of criminal cases in the Ontario legal system.

Andrew Captan, a Domestic Assault Lawyer in Scarborough, can help.
What Is Domestic Assault in Ontario?
Domestic assault involves allegations of assault between individuals in interpersonal relationships—such as spouses, common-law partners, or other family members. These cases are treated very differently from other assault charges due to a number of factors, including the difficulty that victims may have in extricating themselves from abusive relationships.
Assaults, generally speaking, or incidents of intentional physical contact with another person, to which the other individual does not consent.
Ontario takes domestic violence extremely seriously. Police have little discretion but to lay criminal charges if a domestic complaint is made. Crown Attorney’s have specific policies when it comes to prosecuting domestic violence cases.
