What are the Penalties for Domestic Violence in Virginia?

In Virginia, domestic violence is considered a Class 1 misdemeanor carrying the following penalties:

  • Up to 1 year in jail

Domestic violence cases can be based on false accusations made out of spite, jealousy, or the desire to get the upper hand in a divorce or child custody case.
