Legal Question in Criminal Law in Illinois

Re: Domestic violence

If there are charges of domestic battery filed, the law requires that person to go before a judge for a bond hearing prior to release. This usually amounts to at least one night in jail. Upon release there is generally a 72 hour no contact order, violation of this order can result in new charges and another stay in jail.

As for the charges, a domestic battery is a class A misdemanor, carrying up to a year in jail, and a fine of up to $2500. The probability of jail depends upon the accused's background, the nature of the battery, if there were injuries and if the alleged victims wish to testify in the case.

Re: Domestic violence

A conviction for domestic battery can result in a fine of up to $2500 and a year in jail. Sentencing is up to the judge and is determined by the sentencing factors as outlined in the statute. Call or email me if you have more questions.
