New Jersey takes Domestic Violence very seriously. Domestic violence in United States is a form of violence expressed by one partner or partners against another partner or partners in the content of an intimate relationship in the United States. (Ref: Wikipedia)
Partners involved in domestic violence can be married or not married; heterosexual, gay, or lesbian; living together, separated or dating.
New Jersey Domestic Violence attorney Joel Silberman1 states “In 1991, the State of New Jersey passed the Prevention of Domestic Violence Act to address violence between spouses and couples that live together. The Act provides two forms of relief. The first form of relief is Civil relief in the form of Temporary and Permanent Restraining Orders. The second form of relief is Criminal relief in which the accused is charged criminally.” (Ref: Domestic Violence, http://www.joelsilbermanlaw.com/our-practice/domestic-violence/)

If you've been falsely accused in a domestic violence crime,
- First and most important thing is to speak with a domestic violence attorney having good experience. You will need proper legal advice at right time to build an adequate defense.
- Never hide anything from your lawyer, not even a small thing. Answer all his/her inquiries truthfully and honestly.
- Never admit to a crime you didn't do, even if it seems more favorable or easy to do so at the time.
- If you are facing jail time, try to get out of it as soon as possible. It's difficult to create an adequate defense if you're in jail. It is also easy for your lawyer to assist you more thoroughly if he or she can contact you all times.
- Ask your domestic violence lawyer about your rights and what you should and should not do when you appear for questioning or court.
- Never speak with anyone about your case without your domestic violence attorney present.
- File a Request for Production of Documents obtaining a copy of the accuser’s complaint/affidavit sworn out against you.
- Be sure to document any conversation or incident that could later become a focus of attention in a courtroom.
