Q: Me and my boyfriend don't stay together or have a kid in common but they charged him with domestic violence f4.
I have to meet with the grand jury and it says on the report that I stated we started together which I did not. What can I do to help him?
A: You can help him find a lawyer and make sure he complies with any protection order that may come out of this. You can tell the grand jury he doesn't stay with you, but that may just result in an assault charge instead of a DV. Bear in mind that you can be charged with falsification, if you start telling a bunch of different stories. You can be uncooperative like not showing up, but that could lead to your arrest. What other evidence is there against him?
