What does the procedure involve?
Following the initial gender violence complaint, the accused will be detained and taken to a holding cell until the expedited trial takes place or the protection order is issued:
EXPEDITED TRIAL
At the Gender Violence Court, statements are taken separately from the victim, the accused, and the witnesses.
ONCE THE QUESTIONING IS COMPLETED, A HEARING IS HELD TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT A PROTECTION ORDER SHOULD BE GRANTED TO THE VICTIM.
The protection order may involve criminal and civil measures:
It is decided here whether restraining and communication orders should be imposed regarding the victim, as well as whether measures concerning parental authority, guardianship and custody of the children, visitation rights, assignment of the home, child support, etc., should be established.
AS A GENERAL RULE, THE PROSECUTION WILL REQUEST THE PROTECTION ORDER AND THE DEFENSE WILL OPPOSE IT.
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
If there is sufficient evidence that the offense has been committed, the parties will meet with the prosecutor to try to reach an agreement regarding the defendant’s acceptance of guilt.
IF THE DEFENDANT ACCEPTS THE AGREEMENT, A SENTENCE WILL BE ISSUED WITH A REDUCTION OF ONE THIRD OF THE PENALTY.
For example, if the defendant accepted a 6-month prison sentence, the penalty would be reduced to 4 months of imprisonment.
If there is not sufficient evidence of a crime, meaning there is not enough proof supporting the victim’s version of events, the defense and the prosecutor will request the dismissal or closure of the case due to lack of evidence, which in most cases will be granted by the court.
TRIAL
It is held at the Criminal Court in cases where the accused and the defense do not wish to accept the proposal made by the prosecutor, considering that the events reported by the victim are not proven or are manifestly false.
A NEW HEARING WILL THEN BE SCHEDULED WITHIN 15 DAYS, WHERE FURTHER EVIDENCE MAY BE PRESENTED.
Therefore, the trial may be prepared with greater guarantees by presenting new witnesses, documentation, and even expert reports that may support the different versions.
APPEAL
The judgment issued by the Criminal Court may be appealed within 5 days before the Provincial Court.

In the case of preventive detention, it may not last longer than the strictly necessary time to clarify the facts; in any case, within a maximum period of 72 hours, the detainee must be released or placed at the disposal of the Judicial Authority.
The violence suffered may be either physical (injuries) or psychological (insults, threats, etc.).
Violence against a woman may be reported by the woman herself to the State Security Forces (Police Station or Civil Guard Headquarters) or directly before the Court. In fact, in Valencia there are specialized offices available for this purpose.
It may also be reported by witnesses of the events, including law enforcement officers or medical professionals assessing the victim, who will submit the medical report directly to the courts.
It is essential. Do not allow the police or Civil Guard to pressure you into accepting a court-appointed lawyer.
The law allows you to appoint a private specialized lawyer who may appear up to 8 hours after the detention.
You have the right to remain silent and not to plead guilty; anything you say may be used against you.
No. The proceedings will continue whenever there is evidence or indications suggesting that violence occurred.
What the alleged victim may do is refuse to testify against their partner, provided they withdraw as a private prosecutor.
After the complaint is filed, law enforcement officers will proceed with the detention of the accused, and the expedited trial will take place within a maximum period of 72 hours.
The Protection Order is a judicial decision that, when there are reasonable indications of domestic violence offenses and an objective situation of risk for the victim, orders their protection through the adoption of civil and/or criminal precautionary measures, while also activating the necessary assistance and social protection measures by forwarding the Protection Order to the Coordination Centers of the Autonomous Communities.
1. CRIMINAL MEASURES:
- Deprivation of liberty
- Restraining order
- Communication ban
- Prohibition from returning to the place where the offense occurred or to the victim’s residence
- Confiscation of weapons or other dangerous objects
2. CIVIL MEASURES:
- Allocation of the use and enjoyment of the family home
- Custody, visitation, and communication arrangements regarding the children
- Child support obligations
- Child protection measures to prevent danger or harm
Note: Civil measures remain valid for 30 days and may be extended if divorce, separation, or parental responsibility proceedings are initiated before that period expires.

“Those who breach their sentence, security measure, imprisonment, precautionary measure, escort, or custody shall be punished with imprisonment from six months to one year.”
