Schedule ConsultationWhat Is Domestic Violence Under South Carolina Law?
Under South Carolina law, Criminal Domestic Violence (CDV/DV) means causing physical harm to a household member. It also includes threatening harm when you can carry out the threat.
Household members include: current or former spouses, people who live together, people who share a child, dating partners, family members, and roommates.
Charges can come from hitting, pushing, or grabbing. They can also come from threats, harassment, and stalking within household relationships.
A first offense can mean up to 90 days in jail. Second and third offenses have mandatory jail time. You may also face fines, protective orders, loss of gun rights, and a criminal record.
Arguments between household members can turn into criminal charges. Sometimes accusations are wrong or exaggerated. Sometimes both people were involved. The facts of each case matter for defense.
