Q: The father of my child assaulted me. I called the police and he told me if I filed family violence he woukd have to call
Dfcs and they could take my child from me. He suggested he lress charges for simple battery instead and it would keep my child out of it. Is there any way to change it from simple battery to family violence? Our 7 month old recently also came home with a hand print on him and it took two days to go away. I took pictures and made a police report. Can I press charges or do anything about this also? He has every other weekend visitation and I fear for my child.

A:
The overall behavior that you are describing is that of an abuser. You need to get a local lawyer to assist you in getting court orders in place that he only have supervised visitation, no contact, etc. This won't stop by cowering to this dangerous bully's threats.
