I can't go after him. His daddy is a judge.

Domestic violence involves a spouse or domestic partner whereas assault can involve anyone whether they know one another or not.

Assault applies regardless of the context -- an assault can occur in the home between spouses -- or in a bar between strangers.
Domestic violence applies only to home/family situations -- but it covers a broader range of conduct than just assault.
So, a person could (depending on how the laws are written in that jurisdiction) be charged with both.

Assault: is an act of violence towards a person from anyone, any ware, a stranger, friend, anyone. Domestic violence is on act of violence from a family member or anyone living at the same residence as you

Your sister was a victim of domestic violence. I am sorry to hear that. Domestic violence is when someone physically hurts another person that they are in a relationship with.
An assault would be when you go over over and beat the living crap out of that a$$hole for hurting your sister.

assault is a more general term. domestic violence involves someone you have a relationship with or live with
