Charges of corporal injury to a spouse can be brought for a variety of reasons

If you’ve ever had a physical conflict with your love partner that leaves even the tiniest mark, you might face charges of corporal harm to a spouse. This may be used to charge for anything from cuts to concussions, bruises to sprains, and even suffocation injuries.

You might face felony charges if the prosecution can establish you intentionally caused these injuries and were not acting in self-defense. Even if it is your first violation, the punishment may include years in state jail.

Your spouse is not able to drop the charges

If your spouse decides not to pursue charges because it was all a misunderstanding, this will not necessarily stop the case. It is up to the prosecutor to decide whether or not charges should be made and whether or not they should be dismissed. Just because your spouse does not want charges filed does not imply the prosecution will drop the case.
