THANKS, this is what I thought, but wanted to be sure .....The way is is presently.. If one of the people showed signs of injury and let's say they are married. He has beaten the crap out of her, then he would go to jail. She would be offered safe haven. She would be notified when he got out of jail and might stay in jail until he appears in court (hope it's not a long weekend).
Several years ago, domestic battery laws changed greatley. Officers are now obligated to take actions where as back in 76 or 77 they did not.
