Q: After no contact order what will happen with domestic violence? In PA.
The neighbors called the cops and my husband was arrested because he grabbed my arm and put bruises on them. We are now in a no contact period until his court date. It was an argument blown out of proportion. What could happen. I want him back home.
A: I'm assuming that criminal charges were filed. Is that's the case,then it's up to the District Attorney's Office to pursue or drop the charges. Get word to your husband that he needs to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney who may be able to work something out with the prosecutor. Remember, your husband may not communicate with you. Your saying you won't cooperate is usually not the best way to resolve these cases even though it may sound like it would be to you.
