Domestic Violence Laws in New Jersey
New Jersey considers domestic violence as a serious offense. An alleged domestic violence offender can be arrested even without independent witnesses or signs of physical injuries.
- Under New Jersey law, there are two aspects of domestic violence cases:
- Criminal
- Civil
Family law court can issue a restraining order that instructs the alleged offender to refrain from any contact with the victim. A criminal charge from the municipal or superior court can also be issued against the defendant. The court hearings for both the family court's restraining order and the criminal court's charges can be held simultaneously and are not dependent on one another.
