I have a question about the level of domestic violence punishment.

Hello. This is Daeryun Law Firm (LLP).

Recently, the level of domestic violence punishment has been strengthened.

Rather than an increase in the actual number of violence cases, public awareness of violence is growing, so the reporting rate is increasing relative to the damage.

In the case of domestic violence or child abuse occurring in the home, it is a crime that can be severely punished.

According to the Domestic Violence Punishment Act, if the victim does not wish for punishment or withdraws the intention to punish, the case can be concluded with criminal punishment, community service, counseling, probation, etc.

However, domestic violence perpetrators who have received protection orders but failed to comply will be subject to imprisonment of up to 2 years, a fine of up to 20 million won, or detention.

At this time, even if the case has not been registered as domestic violence, you must be careful as the report history can be confirmed later.

Daeryun Law Firm's criminal specialist attorneys conduct settlement on behalf of clients with victims.

Although I cannot know your more detailed and specific situation, if you are in an unfair position of being reported due to a misunderstanding similar to yours, you must clearly establish your position and arguments through active defense.
