Aggravated assault is assault committed with a deadly weapon (a firearm or anything designed to cause death or serious injury) or assault that causes serious bodily injury (substantial risk of death or permanent damage); this is a Class D felony (2 to 12 years in prison, up to $5,000 fine), but can be elevated to a Class C or B felony depending on aggravating circumstances like the severity of injury or use of weapons.

Penalty: Class D felony; 2-12 years; fine up to $5,000

It is illegal for a parent or spouse to fail to provide financial support, food, shelter, clothing, or medical care to a minor child or disabled spouse when the person is able to do so and knows they have a legal duty—this is nonsupport, a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to 11 months 29 days in jail and a $2,500 fine. Nonsupport becomes the more serious crime of "flagrant nonsupport" (a Class E felony punishable by 1–6 years in prison) if the person leaves the state to avoid support obligations or has been convicted of nonsupport before.

Penalty: Class A misdemeanor; 11 months 29 days; fine up to $2,500
