When a Family Fight Happens
Assault or battery charges are considered "domestic violence" if the accuser is assaulted at home. Most often, the accused is a family member, an ex-spouse or someone the accuser lives with.

No Contact Orders in Idaho
Many times, no contact orders, commonly called restraining orders, result from domestic violence incidents. No contact orders are put into place to protect the victim. However, these protective orders do not prevent the victim from contacting the alleged abuser. And, If this occurs, the abuser can actually be found in violation of the no contact order.
