In the state of Florida, the act of domestic violence is taken seriously by officials. When a person is accused of this crime, they will probably want to seek the expertise of a Miami Domestic Abuse Attorney who can explain the court process, rights of the accused, accusers and privileges. If evidence shows that domestic violence has occurred between a spouse or children, the accused will be arrested, taken into custody and wait to see a judge.
In Florida, there is no privilege of Spousal Immunity. This means that the accused does not have the privilege of stopping a spouse or child from testifying against them in a court of law. However, Confidential Communications is a privilege that Mr. Gravelle would be allowed as he did have a valid marriage at the time of the incident. Privileges and rights of the accused are very important in these cases. The expertise and knowledge of working with them can be discussed and explained by seeking the guidance and assistance of an experienced Miami Domestic Abuse Attorney.
