What is Partner Family Member Assault (PFMA)? A PFMA is Montana's version of a domestic assault. Partner means spouse, former spouses, persons who have a child in common, and persons who have been or are currently in a dating or ongoing intimate relationship. Family member means mothers, fathers, children, brothers, sisters, and other past or present family members of a household. This also includes stepchildren, stepparents, in-laws, and adoptive children and parents. Assault means purposely or knowingly causing bodily injury, negligently causing bodily injury with a weapon, or purposely/ knowingly causing reasonable apprehension of bodily injury.
