So my ex and I are now divorced but I want to press charges against him for the domestic violence and putting me in the hospital. I know have permanent damage from it. I was told to go to the magistrate and file charges and that the DA would then represent me and be the prosecutor. Do I have to appear in court? What will this all entail? I'm afraid this could get ugly.

My husband and I have a domestic violence hearing set for tomorrow. I just found out that his public defender is no longer with the city court. My husband was assigned another attorney. The attorney that he was assigned to just happens to be my attorney. We both were arrested, we both were ordered to attend domestic violence classes. Neither one of us have attended the classes because of the locality and our jobs. I don't think my husband is going to show up. What will happen if he doesn't?

He has two domestic violence charges (found guilty both times), one he got probation and after six months they cleared it off his record. The second "recorded" incedent is still on his record. There are pictures of the damage done to me both recorded incedents. Now he wants to have it removed from his record, stating that he can't get a job to pay child support because of it. I need to know if it is possible for him to have it removed and how I could prevent it. I am fearful that someother woman will fall for his lies and end up dead. Please help. I feel like I am the one being punished.

I am going to Small Claims court next week, and I have printed out the statute of limitations for domestic violence assault, information from the Michigan Legislature website, to justify that I am still within the timeframe according to this law. How do I say which section, paragraph? On top it says, Section 600.5805 Then below it says: Sec: 5805 And I am quoting Paragraphs 4, 12, and 15. How do I say this correctly? Am I quoting laws? Statues? Sections? Thanks!

My wife was recently arrested for domestic violence against me. The judge dropped all charges, but there is still an arrest on her record. Will this affect her chances of getting a green card or a job? She is currently a F-1 student and had no pior convictions or arrests. I am also planning to file to seal and expuge her record. Thanks! Well, I married her and we've been together for over an year, I love her, and theres not reason for divorce.... she is still my wife and i feel she deserves to be a permanent resident. Also, because we fight with each other proves we are not in this together for illegal purposes... never mind i found my answer: http://immigration.lawyers.com/ask-a-lawyer/Does-Arrest-Affect-Residency-Application-6253.html

I'm strongly considering majoring in Criminal Justice, but I have to buckle down and decide on a career. I know that I want to help people, like reach out to them, sort of like a counselor, but I don't want to be a Corrections counselor. I know I want to help people who have been through violence and etc. Is there a position where they have that job description? (General suggestions help, but not too general lol)

I needed to be fingerprinted for a job, and I was arrested for something that I am not guilty for, but I want to know what the employer will see. I have not yet gone to court but I have an attorney and am fighting my guilt. It is a domestic violence charge that even my husband says is not true but the police were mean and we were scared so we did what they said and I ended up in jail. I don't want this hurting my chance at my new job.

I have an ex who is harassing me. I really don't want to get the police involved because the attention he gets from that will more than likely satisfy him because we will have to go to court and he will get to see me. I have changed my phone number and have ignored all his phone calls, text messages, ims for the past year. We were together for 5 years but he is still not over me. I told him that I would get the police involved and file for harassment, but he is not doing or saying anything physically dangerous. He told me to go ahead and do it. In connecticut, he would only get a class c misdimeanor and getting a chance to be involved with me would be worth it to him. I have no idea what to do. I can't move. I have a good job. He texts me like 20 times a day and calls me at least 10 times a day. I never pick up. This has been going on since we broke up and we've been apart for 2.5 years. I just want him to leave me alone and I don't think time will do it. I have changed my numbers and he doesnt bother me for a while until he finds out the new one. He will just sit outside my work and wait for me. He is not violent or threatening and not calling for sex.

Often victims of domestic violence have to start all over again, new housing, new jobs, since they are left with no where to go, because of financial reasons. They suffer great deals of pain and injustice for what happens to them. Some actual have permanent injuries and will be disabled for the rest of their lives. What do you think, should they file a civil lawsuit against their abusers?
