Domestic Violence 

An arrest for domestic violence is extremely serious. In Utah and across the United States, specific procedures and rules are in place to address domestic violence allegations and arrests, which may include mandatory arrest and even overnight jail stays.  

Under Utah law, domestic violence is not taken lightly. Failure to understand your rights can result in:

• being named as a “restricted person” and being banned from ever personally having a firearm.
• having a former spouse use your conviction to achieve an advantage in a divorce or custody matter
  
• facing a felony charge because the next domestic violence allegation is subject to enhancement and can be filed as a felony as a result of the prior domestic violence conviction or violation of protective order conviction.
