The People of Laguna Woods

The last United States Census taken in Laguna Woods was conducted in 2010. At that time, Laguna Woods had a population of 16,192 residents. The majority of the residents of Laguna Woods were over the age of 65 (80%). This makes sense as the largest part of the City of Laguna Woods is made up of the private, gated community of Laguna Woods Village, an active lifestyle community for people over 55.

The population of Laguna Woods has likely grown quite a bit in recent years, as a check of the Laguna Woods Village website finds mention of 18,500 residents in the Village alone. However, during the 2010 census, only 36 households in the entire town reported children living in them. In fact, there were only 48 children under the age of 18 listed in the census.

While not everyone in Laguna Woods lives in a family setting, there are still approximately 40% of the population who live with a spouse or partner. And, sixty percent of the population live by themselves.

Understanding Legal Charges Related to Domestic Violence

While “domestic violence” is the charge most commonly referred to when an argument between intimate partners develops and the cops get involved, it is not the only charge closely related to domestic violence.

Other Charges Are:

• Corporal Injury of Spouse
• Corporal Injury of a Cohabitant
• Domestic Abuse
• Spousal Abuse
• Violation of Penal Code 273.5

Corporal Injury Of A Spouse Or Cohabitant

While corporal injury may put you in mind of school punishments like having your fingers rapped in school or a spanking in the principles office, this is not what is being referred to in the charge “Corporal Injury of a Spouse or Cohabitant.”

Corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant is defined by California law as “willfully inflicting a physical injury that causes a 'traumatic condition' on an intimate partner.” Let's define a few of these terms, to understand better what could be considered corporal injury.

Who Qualifies as an Intimate Partner?

• A spouse
• A Former Spouse
• A Cohabitant (someone you live with)
• A Former Cohabitant (someone you used to live with)
• A Boyfriend (including same-sex boyfriends)
• A Girlfriend (including same-sex girlfriends)
• A Fiance'
• A Former Fiance'
• The Parent of Your Child

In other words, anyone you have had a romantic or intimate relationship with, at any point, for any length of time, would be considered an intimate partner.

What is considered a “physical injury?”

• Any Injury That Leaves a Mark, Such As A Bruise Or Cut
