Disputes about the underlying incident;

There is no injury and the alleged victim is not truthful;

Alleged victim using domestic violence laws to gain an edge in a divorce action;

Self-defense;

Defending another such as a child or other household member;

Defending against the destruction of your personal property;

Defending yourself when attached in your home (Stand your ground)
