Q: Need help keeping intimate partner from going to jail?
Charges are assault by strangulation, domestic violence, interrupting a 911 call and avoiding the police, dhs is involved and I feel like I'm gonna lose my intimate partner and child and I cant do it, if that happens I wont be able to go on in life if I lose my child, I need a way for me to keep my child and keep intimate partner out of jail.
A:
At this point it sounds like you need to do two things:
1. Your partner needs a criminal defense attorney right now to fight any criminal charges.
2. You need a family law attorney to help you with DHS, now.
Where many people go wrong is they wait too long to get help. Do not delay. Hire legal counsel now.
