What Constitutes Domestic Violence in Mississippi?

A domestic violence offense is one that is committed against a family or household member such as a spouse, a child, a person with whom one has had a child, a dating partner, or former spouses and dating partners.

Domestic violence under Mississippi law is broken down into two categories:

• Simple domestic violence: Involves a charge of simple assault which can include threatening the victim with imminent harm or intentionally, recklessly, or negligently causing bodily harm. It is generally charged as a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and/or a fine of up to $500.
• Aggravated domestic violence: A more serious charge involving serious bodily harm, as in strangling, using a deadly weapon, or acting with extreme disregard to human life. It is charged as a felony punishable by a minimum sentence of two years imprisonment. This sentence can be enhanced by up to 20 years if it is a third or subsequent offense.
