Denver GLBT Domestic Violence Attorney

Domestic Violence in Same Gender Relationships

Under Colorado State law, domestic violence is defined as any act or threatened act of violence on a person with whom they are or were involved with in an intimate relationship. The law also defines an "intimate relationship" as any type of romantic relationship, not necessarily sexual, between couples. It does not matter how long the relationship lasted, whether they were married or not, living together, just dating or ever had children. It does not matter if the two people are heterosexual, gay, lesbian, bisexual or transsexual the same laws apply. If you or someone you know has been arrested for domestic violence you should speak to a Denver domestic violence lawyer at the Lancaster Law Office, LLC as soon as possible.
