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 use physical force against a police officer to prevent them from stopping, searching, or arresting you or another person. This includes resisting or obstructing a lawful police action through violence. A basic violation is a Class B misdemeanor punishable by up to 6 months in jail and a $500 fine, but if you use a deadly weapon (firearm or similar object) during the resistance, it becomes a Class A misdemeanor with harsher penalties.
