The holidays are supposed to be a joyous time of year, but we all should be aware that there are dangers inherent with the holiday time. The holidays are a time for parties with family and friends in which many people enjoy drinking copious amounts of alcohol. It is normally fun and rewarding to see family and friends that you don't get to see all the time. This can be an opportune setting for an incident of domestic violence, family and booze. Especially because some family members inherently just don't get along. All of these relationships can be considered domestic. If you get mad at your cousin, or your brother-in-law, because he's a drunkard and being obnoxious and you push him or push him, that is Domestic Battery in Nevada. Any blood relationships can establish the domestic component. In-laws are also included in the definition of domestic relationships as well as roommates, so, if you get physical with anyone included in this definition, you run the risk of being charged with Domestic Battery. This looks exactly the same as getting physical with your wife on a background check, and the penalties are the same.
Everyone should have a Happy Holiday season, but family and friends need to remember there are very serious ramifications to physicality in these situations. Stay in control, stay level-headed. Even if your cousin is being a jerk, it's not worth it.
