Domestic assault charges most commonly arise from disputes between family members as well as those in intimate relationships. One party may call 911, the police will attend the residence, and in most cases somebody will be arrested. In many cases the party facing domestic assault charges will be held in custody for a bail hearing the next day. The arrested party will also be prohibited from communicating with the complainant and, among other conditions, not allowed to attend the family residence.
