No, once the prosecutor initiates charges, the process is in motion. No matter what the alleged victim says, the prosecution will most likely go forward in prosecuting you.
Do Officers Need A Warrant For Your Arrest?
Not in Michigan for domestic violence allegations. All the officer needs is reasonable suspicion to believe the domestic violence occurred in order to arrest you. The help of a skilled domestic violence attorney can help you combat these charges.
CAN THE PROSECUTOR ADD MORE PENALTIES?
A prosecutor, depending on the circumstances, can charge you with additional felonies in combination with a domestic violence charge. Typically, we see:
- Weapons charges
- Intent to inflict great bodily harm
- Strangulation
Each of these felonies carries an additional jail sentence of four to ten years in prison.

TYPES OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CHARGES IN MICHIGAN
Under Michigan law, domestic violence is couched in the assault and battery statutes. Therefore, assault and battery underpin the court’s understanding of domestic violence charges are:
- Assault is the intentional illegal act that caused another to reasonably fear an immediate battery.
- Assault and Battery is the intentional, forceful, violent, or offensive touching, however slight or minor, of another, or something closely connected with the person of another.
The way that domestic violence differs from assault and assault and battery is the parties involved. Michigan law defines domestic violence as assault and assault and battery by a:
- Spouse
- Former spouse
- A person with a child in common with the victim
- Head of the victim’s household
- A person with whom the victim had a dating relationship
