Walk It Through: The Call to the House

Two accounts, a predominant aggressor, a mandatory arrest, and a protective order offered.

Neighbors call the police during a loud fight between a couple. Each says the other hit first.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

A first call to a shared home. A violation of an existing order, a child victim, and the criminal sentence are covered on other pages.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
