S9:E9 Connecticut Diversionary Programs - Family Violence Education Program

In the final episode of the season, Attorney Rob Fontaine discusses the Family Violence Education Program and who might be eligible for the program with a case pending in court in Connecticut.

The Connecticut Family Violence Education Program is a diversionary program for those who face Connecticut domestic violence charges. It is available to those who have been charged with issues such as bodily harm, stalking, assault, and patterns of violence. Eligibility also hinges on not having used this program in the past, not being convicted of family violence since October 1st, 1986, and not having used the Accelerated Rehabilitation Program for Family Violence since October 1st, 1986.

This diversionary program is an alternative to jail time and other penalties for first time offenders. Whether you are facing a domestic violence crime at the Hartford, Enfield, Manchester, New Britain, Rockville, and Torrington, or some other Courthouse, the Family Violence Education Program might be an option for you.
