It varies from municipality to municipality, state to state, country to country. For example, I am a victim of domestic abuse. I finally got up the courage to leave the relationship and press charges. In the past, he was charged with two counts of Domestic Assault in the 2nd degree, which were Class A Misdemeanors. Because he is a repeating offender, his new 2nd degree assault charge is an automatic Class C felony. He's also facing two counts of domestic assault in the third degree, and because he's a first time third-degree offender, they are class A misdemeanors. However, he violated an order of protection I have against him, and is also being charged with a stalking charge. The stalking charge would normally be a misdemeanor, but since it's violating an order of protection in which there are pending domestic assault cases, it's an automatic class D felony. However, this is all law based on where I live. The best resource for you to contact would be the circuit attorney where your case is/should be filed.
