“So in Colorado, domestic violence is defined as an act or threaten act of violence upon a person whom the actor is or has been involved in an intimate relationship with where the act of violence is used to gain or maintain power and control over the other person.”
“It's important to note that domestic violence is not just a crime in itself, but it's rather a sentence enhancer which can be tacked onto any other underlying crime. For example, let's say you were to steal something from your fiance. would be a domestic violence theft. So, the criminal charge is theft, but you're also charged with domestic violence due to the fact that the person you're in in intimate relationship with is your fiance.”
