not the criminal tampering part, but the enhancement part

You may have heard that our state has some of the strictest domestic violence laws in the country. That’s true. Sort of.
Because it’s also true that Colorado laws do not actually contain a specific statute on domestic violence. Instead, there is a provision that acts as an enhancement to other statutes, such as the one for assault.
For an assault charge to be considered an act of domestic violence, it must be committed against someone who is in an intimate relationship with the offender. This intimate relationship is defined as a relationship between spouses or former spouses, couples or former couples who are unmarried, or parents of a child no matter if they cohabitated or were married.
