For lawful representation concerning domestic violence, a divorce attorney, criminal law attorney, or family law attorney can characterize you or your family in cases where you need legal provision.

In Virginia domestic violence is considered as a form of behavior and way to have control. It is a way to create a power pyramid in a relationship in which one spouse directs the other over physical violence or mental abuse. According to Virginia Law, family violence comprises five main sorts of abusive behaviors which includes:
- Physical violence (slapping, hitting, kicking, pushing, biting or using weapon etc.)
- Emotional abuse (intimidation or humiliation tactics)
- Sexual abuse
- Economic control
- Neglect
According to Virginia Law, Section 19.2-81.3 allows the police officers to arrest without a warrant in case of domestic violence, if there is a possible cause for the suspected crime. While looking at domestic violence cases in Virginia it is also imperative to consider Section 16.1-228, which outlines that family abuse is an act which involves violence or threat towards other member of family which directly point towards injury.
