There are several different incidents that can lead to criminal charges while you are on the road. Here are a few to think about:
Domestic violence cases are difficult to handle because of the very intimate details that might come up. Most people don't want all their business aired out in a public forum like a court hearing. Still, for the men and women who are facing these accusations, this is a very real possibility.
While it is true that not every domestic abuse case is going to proceed along the same axis, there are some points that are often similar. Understanding a little bit about the cycle and specifics of domestic violence might be beneficial to defendants and others who are concerned about this problem.
As a parent of a teenager, you are often faced with difficult decisions. Teenagers commonly do not consider the consequences of their actions, and you, as a parent, can be left trying to clean up a real mess. Sometimes, the best option is to help your kids out.

The children don't need to be put in any danger, so even if you aren't convicted of domestic violence, the court might find that you can't be alone with your children. Even though the situation isn't ideal, there are ways that you can encourage bonding and productive visits during this time.
