What is Spousal Abuse?

Spousal abuse refers to physical, psychological, financial, or sexual abuse between spouses, usually to establish dominance or control.   Spousal abuse can include actual acts of abuse or violence, or just the threat of violence or abuse.  Our San Francisco spousal abuse lawyers have experience representing victims of all forms of spousal abuse, including:

• Physical Abuse - hitting, slapping, punching, burning, shoving, kicking, beating, throwing, choking, stabbing, shaking, pulling hair, etc.

• Sexual Abuse - forcing the victim to engage in sexual acts against his/her will, this can include spousal rape, molestation, fondling, sexual assault, sexual battery, and forcing the victim to watch sexual acts against his/her will.  Sexual harassment is also a form of sexual abuse.

• Psychological/Emotional Abuse – using the threats or verbal attacks to intimidate, belittle, or humiliate the victim.  Harassment, unreasonably harsh criticism, stalking, isolation, and telling the victim what he/she can or cannot do are also forms of psychological abuse.

• Financial Abuse – Stealing money from the victim, controlling the victim’s money without consent, or refusing to give the victim money for basic necessities.  Financial abuse is also sometimes referred to as economic deprivation.
