Domestic Violence Law-Nevada explanation, discussion, and possible punishments if convicted

Neither Nevada or the federal government takes this charge lightly. You should retain an attorney for this matter. Even a misdemeanor conviction for this charge carries mandatory jail time. In addition, this conviction can cause the loss of custody
of your children, loss of employment, and can subject you to deportation.

Whether you are a man or a woman, if you are convicted of domestic violence in Nevada, this creates a presumption that you are unfit to be the primary custodian of your own children. This means that you can lose custody of your children to the parent who, for 5 years, has maybe only spent every other weekend with them. This is not something you or your children deserve.    

Further, under federal law, you cannot ever legally carry a firearm if you have a domestic violence conviction. If you are in the military or a member of law enforcement, this is usually the end of your career. In other fields which require special licensing, this conviction can cause you to lose and/or prevent you from renewing that license.

In Nevada, the Relationship that constitutes “domestic” and the actions that count as “violence” are   very broad. Married persons, boyfriend-girlfriends, same sex couples, blood relatives (siblings, parents and their children, cousins), even roommates are all relationships which count as “domestic” for purposes of this charge. Moreover, acts which may not seem like a violence, such as pushing, pinching and hair pulling, are all actions which are used to show the “violence” aspect of the crime.

If you think you should just plead guilty to “get it over with,” you are gravely mistaken. This conviction is a part of your permanent record. Additionally, for 7 years, the conviction can be used for enhancement. During this 7 year period, if you are convicted of a second offense of domestic violence, you are facing at least 10 mandatory days in jail.   A third offense within 7 years carries a penalty of  1 to 5 years in prison.

It Nevada, a prosecutor is prohibited from negotiating domestic violence to a lesser charge unless he knows that the there is not probable cause or that the case will not be proven at trial. For this reason, these types of cases almost never negotiate. Unless you plead guilty, your case will go to trial. You  need an experienced trial attorney to prepare and present your defense.    

If you are currently charged with domestic violence, or if you are suffering loss of employment, family, or deportation due to a domestic violence conviction, it is not too late. Call a Las Vegas criminal defense lawyer at Advanced Litigation Services, Inc. now for a free consultation.

Frequently asked questions regarding battery constituting domestic violence

What type of relationship is required for the “domestic” element of battery?
Nevada law defines “domestic” very broadly.  This is listed in NRS 33.018 as a spouse, former spouse, any other person to whom he is related by blood or marriage, a person with whom he is actually residing, a person with he has had or is having a Dating Relationship, a person with whom he has a child in common, the minor child of any of those person, his minor child or any person who has been appointed the custodian or legal guardian of the minor child.

Dating relationship means frequent, intimate associations primarily characterized by the expectation of affection or sexual involvement.  It does not include a Casual Relationship or Business Relationship.

The Nevada Supreme Court even found that a battery by a sister in law against a brother in law constitutes domestic violence in City v. Eighth Judicial District Court and Meunier.

Q: What is the penalty if I am convicted?
 
For the first offense within 7 years, you are convicted of a misdemeanor, and you must:

• Spend at least 2 days in jail up to 6 months;
• Perform a minimum of 48 hours, but not more than 120 hours, of community service;
• Pay a fine of not less than $200, but not more than $1,000;
• Participate in weekly counseling sessions of at least 1 1/2 hours per week for at least 6 months up to 12 months for the treatment of domestic violence.  This is paid for by the defendant; and
• Pay a $35 administrative assessment fee.
• In addition, the court may order you to participate in a drug and/or alcohol treatment program at your own expense.
• The judge could also order you to pay for counseling if he determines that a person under the age of 18 may need counseling as a result of the commission of battery constituting domestic violence.

For the second offense within 7 years, you are convicted of a misdemeanor and you must:

• Spend at least 10 days in jail up to 6 months;
• Perform a minimum of 100 hours, but not more than 200 hours, of community service;
• Pay a fine of not less than $500, but not more than $1,000.
• Participate w in weekly counseling sessions of at least 1 1/2 hours per week for 12 months for the treatment of domestic violence.  This is paid for by the defendant.
• Pay a $35 administrative assessment fee.
•  In addition, the court may order you to participate in a drug and/or alcohol treatment program at your own expense.
• The judge could also order you to pay for counseling if he determines that a person under the age of 18 may need counseling as a result of the commission of battery constituting domestic violence.

For the third and any subsequent offense within 7 years, you are convicted of a guilty of a category C felony.  You must serve a mandatory 1 to 5 year sentence.  There is no probation for this offense.  In addition, the court may impose a fine of up to $10,000.

    
Q: If I am convicted, will I be taken into custody in court?

Nevada law gives a judge discretion to allow you to serve your jail time intermittently.  This means that, with the judge’s permission, you can leave court and can check yourself in later at the jail when you are not required to be at work.  You cannot serve your time in periods of less than 4 hours. 

Q: If I am convicted, can I complete these requirements outside of the State of Nevada?
The jail time cannot be completed out of State but the other requirements can be.

Q: Can my conviction from another State be used for enhancement in Nevada?
Yes. However,  the convictions need to be examined to determine if they are valid to use as priors.

Q: I was already arrested and taken to jail for this.  Will I get credit for those days?
Yes, you will receive credit, but 2 days is the minimum amount of jail time required in Nevada.  The maximum sentence is 6 months.

Surviving Domestic Abuse $18.99 “”Has he ever hit you?”I hate the question. What is a “hit”? Many people think that domestic abuse is a slap across the face, or a kick, or a shove. And if it’s not bad enough to go to the ER, if there are no bruises, cuts or broken bones, then maybe it wasn’t that bad. “Just get over it.” The answer to that question for me is, “Yes. He hit me once, early in our marriage, while I was driving the car.” That hit had a profound effect on me. It made me feel stupid and deserving of punishment. Surely I said something “wrong.” It also squelched my ability to communicate my feelings freely with my husband. What would happen if I said something “wrong” again?No, I am not dead. I haven’t had stitches. I haven’t had to visit the emergency room. But I am hurt….deeply hurt….over a very broken and abusive relationship with my husband.This is the story of how I learned to SURVIVE”

The Child-Parent Relationship in the New Testament and Its Environment $30 “Should parents be revered, honored and obeyed? Did Jesus obey his parents? Did early Christians act towards their parents in ways that would have earned them the admiration or scorn of their neighbors? What characteristics were typical off family life in the early church?Typical studies of marriage and family life in early Christianity focus on the very limited evidence found in Scripture. Balla gathers the research of experts from a variety of disciplines–from archaeology to ancient history–to paint a broader, richer picture of the first Christian families. By exploring the nature of households in the ancient Greco-Roman world, this illuminating study presents a new understanding of ancient Christian domestic life that is both compelling and instructive.Divided into six parts, the book covers key aspects of ancient family life, from meals and child-rearing to women’s roles and the lives of slaves.

An Intimate One-On-One Relationship $14.99 “Many of us may believe connecting to the earth and universe can bring a form of “peace,” hard work: “success,” and treating ourselves and others well can bring us “happiness.” But how do we receive “joy”? Happiness depends on what’s happening outside of us, such as materialistic achievements and how people treat us. Joy is what we have despite what’s happening around us — a special gift received from being in an intimate relationship with our Triune Creator…The best of us miss the mark and, at least, emulate sin in thoughts. How we treat others, including ourselves, knowingly and unknowingly, is also a factor. How then do we enter into the presence of the Holy One — our Creator? The significant question every human being from all religions and thoughts should now ask is: “How do I get freedom from the consequences of missing the mark (sin)? How does our Creator solves this challenge for us?”Matthew 16:13-17 NKJV When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.”The same two questions remain for us also: Who does everyone else say Yeshua Christ is? Who do you say He is? Your answer to the latter is the most important answer of your lifetime.”

Understanding People : Deep Longings For Relationship $18.99 “”My burden in this book is to lay a foundation for accepting the simple (but rather radical) idea that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life without falling into shallowness or irrelevance. To reach that goal, it is necessary to see how psychological disorder is really the product of the sinful pursuit of life apart from God.” “Let me try to reduce this profound longing for relationship to a simple definition: Each of us fervently wants someone to see us exactly as we are, warts and all, and still accept us. Because no other human being can ever see all of us, a nagging doubt clouds even the best relationship: what would they think of me if they knew that . . .?” “We must relieve ourselves of the pressure to ‘feel good’ when something legitimately painful happens. Hurting Christians must embrace their pain, not deny it out of guilt. Bereaved people should sorrow. Parents whose children rebel should ache. Wives whose husbands are weak should feel disappointed and angry. Children whose parents provide authority without involvement should feel betrayed . . . Every emotion can be used to push us on to a deeper awareness of our dependency on God.” “People who are designed to know the joy of relationship feel only the pain of separation and loneliness.”"

The One in the Many: A Contemporary Reconstruction of the God-World Relationship $24 “Classical notions of truth and objectivity have steadily eroded in the face of postmodernism. Meeting this challenge head-on, Joseph Bracken here reconstructs the metaphysical tradition of the West on solid new foundations. Drawing on the thought of Alfred North Whitehead, Ervin Laszlo, and J]rgen Habermas, Bracken presents a new philosophical perspective that roots the relationship between God and the world in community. Bracken first answers objections to the possibility of developing a new metaphysics in our postmodern age. He then lays out the “vertical” and “horizontal” dimensions of his new metaphysical scheme, a constructive perspective that results in a consciously communitarian understanding of the God-world relationship. The uniqueness of Bracken’s position is its advocacy of a strictly “social ontology” in which the classical relationship of the One and the Many is reversed – not the transcendence of the One over the Many but its emergence out of the Many in dynamic relationship.”

Knowledge and the Transcendent: An Inquiry Into the Mind’s Relationship to God $69.95 “There has been a distinct trend in modern thought to be deeply suspicious and critical of the human minds ability to gain genuine access to any reality that transcends the world or the mind. As such, much modern reflection on the minds relationship to a transcendent God has either banished God from the realm of the cognitively accessible or found ways to evacuate God of his transcendence, and reduce God to a concept or idea in the mind. In this book, Paul Macdonald directly challenges negative modern understandings of the minds relationship to God.”

Hearing the Sermon: Relationship, Content, Feeling $19.99 “Hearing the Sermon is a total revolution in the “how-to’s” of preaching. It is the result of an extensive study that made those who listen to sermons the teachers of effective preaching. Using Aristotelian categories of rhetoric as a basis for analyzing the effectiveness of the sermon — the audience’s perception of the of the preacher (ethos), the audience’s perception that the message of the speech is true (logos), and the audience’s response to the feelings and identifications generated in connection with the sermon (pathos). Allen explores the workings and influences the three factors have on listeners. He shows preachers how to incorporate material into their sermons that will minimize resistance and maximizing the possibility that listeners may hear and assimilate the sermon as the preacher intended for it to be heard.

Leaving the Enchanted Forest: The Path from Relationship Addiction to Intimacy $14.99 “Chapter One>The Love Potion: Chemistryand Dependence>On a recent TV talk show, the hostess asked about relationship addiction. She had heard the term a lot lately, she said, but was still puzzled. She asked, ‘Just what is relationship addiction? What does it really look like? Is it like any other addiction?” Her guest replied, “Well, it can show up in any number of ways: as an obsession, for example — a constant thinking, ruminating about the person you’re in relationship with. Or there may be a compulsive quality about the behavior — for instance, making frequent detours just to drive or walk by the partner’s workplace. There may also be signs of tolerance increase. In the relationship addict’s case, this translates into needing more and more of the other person’s presence to feel OK.>”There is a need to protect the supply, which shows up as an unreasonable degree of possessiveness or jealousy. And there may be symptoms of withdrawal. When the relationship addict is separated from the I source, ‘ he or she may become anxious and depressed.” “Hmm…,” mused the show’s hostess with a frown. “Sounds to me like you’re describing love “>Although we have been socialized to think of this obsession as love, in fact, the compelling allure of its spell has little to do with the depth and enduring quality of true caring. Addiction to another person is what “falling in love” feels like-it is the wild abandon of the enchanted forest. The crucial distinction between relationship addicts and other people who fall in love is that the former expect this fleeting phase of a relationship to become a utopian endless summer that sustains forever the poetry, the ecstasy, and the feelings ofmerger they experience in their infatuation. Not only have women been socialized to nurture and take care of men in relationship, but they-in particular-have believed the myth of romance.>As women, we have accepted the notion that if only we find the right person, we’ll fall in love and live happily every after-as fairy tales promise. Given this stage setting, it is not surprising that even women who are not relationship addicts show many signs of dependence. But obsessions, compulsions, and the temporary high of being “in love” are neither love nor proof of love; on the contrary, they are the signposts of falling in love-that tempting ecstatic feeling that can so easily lead to dependence and addiction.>Maria>At thirty-three, Maria has been a relationship addict most of her adult life. When she met Vic, Maria thought she had met her soulmate, a reallife version of the fairy tale prince: tall, dark, handsome, socially prominent, charming, and somewhat mysterious. Maria instantly fell for him. Within a few months they were married; like Tristan and Iseult, however, they did not live happily ever after.>When she fell in love with Vic, Maria misread some very important clues about him. She saw a superior man who was exciting, outgoing, friendly, and entertaining, but she saw him on
