If you or a loved one has been charged with CDV it is important that you
understand that the law works very differently than what you may first
think. Pursuant to S.C. § 16-25-10, et seq., (South Carolina's CDV
Law) you may be arrested convicted of CDV even if you never touch or try
to touch the other party. There is no requirement anyone actually be harmed,
pushed, kicked, or hit in any way. Based on the law the Lexington County
CDV Court can find you guilty of CDV and have you designated a domestic
violence criminal even if no one was actually harmed and even if they
don't want to press charges. The worst thing you can do for yourself and
your family is appear in Court without first consulting with a lawyer.

individuals who have been unfairly or falsely charged with domestic violence.
