Domestic violence is a politically charged subject in Florida and is prosecuted aggressively - usually by specially trained prosecutors.

- Permanent Criminal Record,
- Treated as a Deportable Offense for Immigration Purposes,
- Ineligible for Sealing or Expungement, and
- Mandatory Counseling.

In Florida, the crime of Domestic Violence Battery is a First Degree Misdemeanor and punishable by up to one (1) year in jail, one (1) year of probation, and a $1,000 fine.

Collateral Consequences
In addition to the statutory penalties applicable to any First Degree Misdemeanor offense, a Domestic Battery conviction also results in the following penalties and collateral consequences:
- Minimum Mandatory Five (5) days in jail if injury caused;
- Mandatory completion of 29 Week Batterers Intervention Program;
- Ineligible to ever have criminal record sealed or expunged;
- Forfeiture of right to have a gun while on probation, even for a misdemeanor; and
