Florida Statute 741.28 defines domestic violence as "any assault, battery, sexual assault or any criminal offense resulting in physical injury or death of one family or household member by another who is or was residing in the same single dwelling unit." Domestic violence can be more than this, however. It can encompass physical, sexual, verbal, emotional and even economic abuse. It can include spousal abuse, child abuse, and elder abuse.

Domestic violence usually involves one partner in a domestic situation acting in such a way as to try to control the other through fear, anxiety, or humiliation. It can occur between married spouses, ex-spouses, couples living together, and even those who are dating. It occurs in all races, religions, ethnic, and economic groups. The behavior involves physical assault, such as kicking, hitting, shoving, biting, slapping, or restraining the victim, the threat of such assault, ridicule or humiliation, verbal abuse, stalking, and economic deprivation, such as withholding household money for food or other goods.
