Domestic assault is when someone commits assault (hitting, attacking, threatening, or attempting to injure) against a domestic abuse victim—which includes current or former spouses, people living together, dating partners, family members by blood or marriage, or children of people in these relationships. Punishment depends on whether it's a first or second offense and the method used, ranging from the same penalties as basic assault to enhanced felony charges for repeat offenses.

Penalty: Class E felony; 1-6 years; fine up to $3,000

Custodial interference is when a relative (parent, step-parent, grandparent, sibling, aunt, uncle, niece, or nephew) of a child under 18 unlawfully takes the child from the state, keeps the child after visitation ends, hides the child knowing it was unlawfully taken, helps someone else do these things, or violates court-ordered visitation or custody rights. Base punishment is up to 30 days in jail and up to $50 in fines, but it can be enhanced to a felony (1-6 years in prison) if done repeatedly or with intent to deny the other parent access.

Penalty: Class C misdemeanor; 30 days; fine up to $50

It is illegal to take or exercise control over someone else's property without their permission with the intent to either permanently deprive them of it or withhold it long enough to substantially reduce its value or their enjoyment of it. This applies to any item of value.

Penalty: Violation

The offense is intentionally pursuing, contacting, or communicating with another person in a way that alarms or annoys them (including through electronic means or social media), or intentionally threatening another person or a minor. This is a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to 11 months and 29 days in jail and/or a fine up to $2,500; it is enhanced to a Class E felony if the victim is a minor, if the defendant has prior harassment convictions, or if the harassment involves threats of violence.
