Q: I am the victim of a domestic violence case. why did I have to go to jail when I pressed charges on him?
I need to know if I can use this court date to get full custody of my son. He has our son right now because he is going to school in a different county from where I had to relocate ( to stay with my parents). I just want my child and I never want to have to come in contact with his father again, if I can help it. I dont even want child support. our court is in Marion county but I am living in Cullman county now.
A: You need to hire a lawyer to defend you in this matter. You went to jail because the police officers believed you committed the offense. That's why you were charged. DO NOT simply plead guilty to Domestic Violence. Get an attorney on this one.
