Q: Wife charged with assault with a deadly weapon on me from a mental breakdown. Shes been gone 3 months. What now? Help?
Okay. This was due to a mental break that actually gave her symptoms of serious mental disorders. The thing is, ive known my wife my WHOLE life. Weve grown up together, and I know her very well. The incident that accrued was certainly not by her negligence or free will. But, State takes over and presses charges anyway. Shes now in a hospital that is 400 miles from me, and since im in the army, which has done nothing to aid me, does not allow me to travel past 250miles. ive paid thousands for her lawyer, who wont tell me anything and never responds to my calls or emails. im afraid theres nothing more I can do. The fact is, my wife and I have a lot of love for each other. At this point its all I have left and the only thing that I have that keeps me pushing forward. Its been 3 months
A: It takes many months to resolve criminal cases. You have done what you can do for now. See if you can get permission to go visit her from your superiors.
