In Indiana law, domestic violence in the presence of a child is classified as a felony.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Misdemeanor
• D. Infraction

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is how statutes treat domestic violence when a child is present. In Indiana, the presence of a child during a domestic violence incident elevates the offense to a felony because it signals greater potential harm to a minor and shows heightened seriousness in protecting children. That added risk and societal priority behind safeguarding children justify moving the offense from a misdemeanor or infraction to a felony classification. So the statement is correct: domestic violence in the presence of a child is classified as a felony.
