A: In Colorado, DV calls result in a lot of automatic responses (e.g. automatic arrests, protection orders, etc.). Your recanting does not eliminate the charge. That is the DA can proceed with the DV with or without your cooperation.

Your husband should hire a lawyer.

Per you other posts, Justia's Q&A cannot provide recommendations on whether to go to trial or not because this would create an attorney-client relationship and a lawyer needs to review the entire case before making an informed decision.
