  Domestic Violence Laws Arizona - Jay F. Brown Attorney AZ  

A crime may fall under the "domestic violence" if you have or had a relationship with the alleged victim from simple disorderly conduct to felony assault. Also, this can also occur from even a simple violation such as a phone call while an order of protection is in effect.

Arizona legislature has and continues to focus on domestic violence laws that have empowered prosecutors to take an active role in pursuing the case, even where the victim refuses to actively participate in the prosecution.

Family Offense

A.R.S. §13-3601
Defines the affected relationships involved as follows:

  1. The relationship between the victim and the defendant is one of marriage or former marriage or of persons residing or having resided in the same household.
  2. The victim and the defendant have a child in common.
  3. The victim or the defendant is pregnant by the other party.
  4. The victim is related to the defendant or the defendant's spouse by blood or court order as a parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, brother or sister or by marriage as a parent-in-law, grandparent-in-law, stepparent, step-grandparent, stepchild, step-grandchild, brother-in-law or sister-in-law.
  5. The victim is a child who resides or has resided in the same household as the defendant and is related by blood to a former spouse of the defendant or to a person who resides or who has resided in the same household as the defendant.
