Well in Arizona the law states: Aggravated Domestic Violence (Felony):
Whether in the Phoenix area, or anywhere in Arizona, per A.R.S. §13-3601.02 "Aggravated Domestic Violence" occurs when a person is convicted of a third or subsequent misdemeanor violation of the Domestic Violence section per A.R.S. §13-3601 within the previous five (5) years.
Click Here. If Your Case Involves Only a First or Second Offense of Misdemeanor Domestic Violence Code per A.R.S. §13-3601
Possible Punishment
Aggravated Domestic Violence is a class five (5) felony. If a person has two (2) prior misdemeanor convictions for Domestic Violence within the last five (5) years, then this new conviction would be designated as "Aggravated" and could carry punishment of anywhere from probation with four (4) months minimum in jail up to one (1) year in jail; or prison of six (6) months minimum to two and one half (2.5) years maximum of incarceration.

It depends upon the state. I know here it is enhanced to a felony by the amount of injury, whether it was in the presence of a child younger than 14 or if there is a previous DV conviction against the offender. The presence of children is a recent enhancement.

I have no idea...but it sucks.
Me and my sister got in a fight the day after Christmas in New Jersey where she lives, and she called the cops and we both got arrested and put into jail!
I live in Texas, and have had to come up TWICE for court. Luckily, it got dismissed since we both didn't testify.
But it was a fight between SISTERS....I mean, come onnnn.
States just want money.

It differs from state to state but I believe it is if it happens a second time.

It depends on who hits who and how hard.
Also, I guess the state you live in makes a difference, too.
