Domestic Violence FAQs

Is domestic violence a civil or criminal case?

Domestic violence can be a civil or criminal case. If a domestic violence restraining order (DVRO) petition was filed, it is a civil case. However, if an arrest is made, criminal charges will likely follow. Alaska recognizes several offenses under the umbrella of domestic violence, including:

  • Assault 
  • Physical abuse
  • Verbal abuse
  • Emotional abuse
  • Child endangerment/abuse
  • Stalking and harassment
  • Rape or sexual assault
  • Attempted murder
What are barrier crimes?

“Barrier crimes” are crimes that will revoke certain licenses, eligibility, or associations. The Alaska Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS) has created a barrier crimes matrix. The DHSS matrix has specific license revocation periods for individual domestic violence convictions. If you are arrested for a crime of domestic violence and hold a license covered in the DHSS matrix, you will lose your job. Daycare workers, personal care attendants, and any careers associated with a school or medical facility will instantly get fired should you be convicted of a crime that falls on the DHSS’s matrix.

 

What is fear assault?

The crime of “fear assault,” may lead to an arrest for simply scaring someone. If the accused breaks something in a way perceived as threatening, this can be two separate charges, fear assault and criminal mischief. These accusations are extremely subjective, and cases can come down to “he said/she said” arguments. Fear assault, criminal mischief, and other domestic violence arrests can also occur out of revenge, for attention, or when one person wants to get the upper hand in a family law dispute. 

As an alleged offender, it is imperative that you have the quality representation of an experienced domestic violence defense attorney on your side.
