Charges of domestic violence or criminal harassment carry serious consequences. They target behaviors such as physical, verbal, or psychological assaults, threats, constant following, or unwanted communications. Governed by the Criminal Code, these offenses can result in strict conditions right from the outset: no-contact orders, eviction from the home, loss of parental rights, and sometimes incarceration.
But beyond legal sanctions, these accusations upend lives. They affect your family ties, your reputation, your job. Even without a conviction, the impact is immediate and profound.
