Q: An ex girlfriend who I’ve never placed on the lease or given keys to put a domestic battery on me. How could this go?
She’s trying to say I was abusive to her through the months, no reports(besides this one) have been made, she has older pictures of old relationships she may say I have caused. But she isn’t a tenant, she’s been spending nights, and the Landlord has noted she cannot issue a 5-day notice to her because of said reason. I don’t have an aggressive or domestic history, how could this possibly turn out? What all do I need to if not prove my innocence, have it to where she can no longer legally come into this apartment building since this is MY residency and she’s next door at a neighbors.
A: You need to hire an attorney to assist you with this matter. Domestic Battery charges are very serious and could cause you issues for the rest of your life if you are convicted. The sooner you hire an attorney, the better.
