Other than supplying your lawful name, address and date of birth, you don’t have to say anything further to the police.

There is a dilemma though. You may be required to state your name and address, but if you are being stopped away from home on a domestic violence charge, the very fact of living with the complaining person may destroy a strong defense to the charge. Weigh the risks before answering. You could state your name and say "I won't say where I live until I talk to an attorney," and then say nothing further. Of course, if that address is on your license, this may be a moot point.
