Q: If I plead no contest to a domestic violence charge do I have to complete the batterers intervention program?
A: Yes, if you are adjudicated guilty or the adjudication is withheld, Florida Statute 741.281 requires the court to order the defendant to complete the batterers intervention program as a condition of probation. The court can waive the batterers intervention program as a condition of probation if the court determines that the program is inappropriate and states on the record why the program is inappropriate.
