A drunk company owner who "forcefully" punched his heavily pregnant partner on the arm as she was attempting to flee their house, has vowed to stop his violent ways "forever".
The 38-year-old Capalaba man, who can't be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty at Cleveland Magistrates Court to one count of contravention of domestic violence order.
The court heard the commercial painting company owner was 17-19 drinks deep and "aggressive" at around 9pm on December 4 last year, when he returned home after an earlier argument with his then heavily pregnant partner.
