Which of the following relationships qualifies a victim as being involved in a first-degree domestic violence case?

To qualify a victim as being involved in a first-degree domestic violence case, the relationship must typically be one that suggests a significant level of intimacy, history, or shared living arrangement that characterizes domestic relationships. A current or former spouse meets this criterion, as it indicates a legally recognized and potentially emotionally connected relationship, which often involves issues of power dynamics and control.

In contrast, relationships such as co-workers, neighbors, and teachers do not typically fall under the category of domestic relationships recognized by law. These relationships usually lack the intimate personal connection and shared history that would raise a situation to the level of first-degree domestic violence, which is focused on serious encounters between individuals who have a close personal relationship as defined by law.
