Is it domestic violence?

Yes. Domestic assault can be as simple as throwing shorts at a person. If you are charged, get an attorney ASAP.

I read your other posting first. As I suspected, there is more to the story. Getting "up in someone's face yelling," or throwing shorts at someone and a "small object" at them even though it missed, can get you charged with Domestic Violence or Assault & Battery. DO NOT make any admissions to anyone. DO NOT tell your side of the story to the police. ONLY speak about the incident to an attorney. ANYTHING you say to anyone else can be used against you.

Your example is probably Domestic Violence if there exists the required relationship between the parties...married, child in common, reside together, dating relationship...and so on. As far as just the "yelling" I suppose it depends in part on what is being said. John R. Moritz
