[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the State of Virginia, it has to be physical violence against another person. What you are describing is not considered domestic violence according to the law. I know this because my husband is a Domestic Violence Officer in Virginia. If you came to his office and said "My spouse threw plates against the wall during an argument.", he could do nothing for you. [/quote] How about if he threw knives at you?[/quote] What if she threw tissues? Or crumpled up pieces of paper? It depends on the situation and whether or not it made you feel afraid. Throwing knives at someone could seriously injure them. Throwing your husband’s dirty socks at him because you are tired of cleaning up after him isn’t intended to intimidate. So, no. Throwing objects during an argument does not always equal domestic violence. [/quote]
