Can I be arrested if domestic violence case is filed against me?

I accidentally slapped my wife in anger due to her wrongful actions. Now my in-laws are threatening to file a domestic violence case against me. How can I protect myself? If I admit that I slapped her, what legal process will I have to undergo after a DV case is filed? Can the police arrest me directly?

Yes, the police can arrest you if a domestic violence case is filed. After filing, you may have to appear in court, respond to charges, and follow the legal process which can include investigation, hearings, and possible penalties depending on the case outcome.
