Domestic assault is a domestic violence crime that occurs between spouses, family members or people who are involved in an intimate relationship with one another. Domestic assault involves an individual attempting to cause harm to another person, and having the ability to do it. This can include threats of violence, or true attempts to commit violence. When an individual successfully commits domestic assault, then domestic battery is the result.
