Domestic Assault Charges in Vaughan
Each domestic assault situation is distinct. The nature of the accusation and the relationship involved require personalized handling. Typically, these cases fall into one of two paths:
The parties wish to reconcile as soon as possible
When the parties wish to reconcile, we make tremendous efforts to get the case completed as soon as possible. We have completed some cases in 7 days or less.
One or both parties have no desire to reconcile
These cases may not have the same urgency, however, if there are special reasons to (for example immigration or travel) all steps to expedite the process will be taken.
Domestic-related charges carry significant weight in Ontario, and courts often impose stricter penalties, including those under section 718.2(a)(ii) of the Criminal Code.
