    Question Boyfriend Charged With Domestic Assault

    My boyfriend is currently being charged with Domestic Assault. His charges had been upped to Aggravated Assault but are back down to Domestic. He has already been in jail for 4 months. He goes back to court the end of this month. I was wondering what the typical sentencing for this type of charge is in Tennessee. We've heard that either they could just give him time served and Peace Alternative classes OR that he would have to finish out an 11/29 sentence and be out during the summer. Anyone know? This is a first offence for him. (And I wasnt the victim btw.)

    Time served is most likely the case here. Worst case is they add a year or two probation to it. You know when his court date is?

    If he ever hits you, be prepared to leave him. DV has a pattern of repeating itself.

    Its the 21st. We hoping that he will get out with probation, but we're preparing for the worst! Thanks so much for your response!

    Oh absolutely. We've already had this discussion. I had an aunt who was in a very abusive marriage and I will not go through that. I have warned him not only will I leave and he will never see me again, but that he needs to worry what my family will do to him (my father is a cop, and deals mostly with domestic violence cases ironically enough).

    Thanks for your support!
