Domestic
violence cases are easy to file in Las Vegas, but they are not automatically
accepted by the court. The plaintiff should meet several jurisdictional
requirements first, before the case can be accommodated in court. Some cases
are dismissed because they lack subject matter jurisdiction (as decided by the
judge). If you are a defendant, make sure that you hire a A prominent domestic violence lawyer who knows if the plaintiff or your
complainant do not fall under any of the following requirements:
· The victim is your spouse/former spouse
Victims of domestic violence who fall under this category should be 18 years old and above. It could also be an emancipated minor. The victim could also share a child with you or both of you are expecting a child.· The victim is a household member or a former household member
Aside from spousal relationships, domestic violence could also happen between a parent and a daughter/son. A house helper could also become a domestic violence victim especially if they are staying in the place of the accused.· You and the victim are in a dating relationship
Most domestic violence cases happen between a man and a woman. So whether they are married or not, it is still possible for domestic violence to occur in this type of relationship.
These are just a
few examples of some jurisdictional factors that a judge considers to make sure
that a certain case is in fact under domestic violence.
