Q: I call the police on my husband after a argument turned physical. He has a warrant for DV is it some way i could cancel
A: No. You cannot cancel this. Your husband needs an attorney to start working on this ASAP. I've dealt with many similar situations. It is difficult to talk police and prosecutors down these days. Many, many women back up on their story and the simple fact is, most people now believe the first thing you say, not the second. Nevertheless, especially with the female on board, a good resolution is possible. Diversion programs can help men deal with alcohol and anger problems while also avoiding conviction. A DV conviction is a big deal. It hurts the convicted person in job searches and make him ineligible to own firearms, even just for hunting. Your man needs a lawyer to straighten this out.
