Q: The mother of my husband's other 2 children admitted to setting him up so that she could press domestic battery charges.
She admitted to setting him up so she could press the charges on him out of revenge for us being together. He was charged with domestic abuse by strangulation and child endangerment. A restraining order was issued on him. She has been harrasing him since the day he got out of jail. 200-300 messages and calls a day from different numbers. He will block one number and she just texts him off of a different one. She is telling him now that she will drop the charges and let him see his kids only if he kicks me and my children out of our home. He has court January 31... Isn't that extortion? Can anything be done?
A: Your husband have an attorney? If not, he should immediately retain an attorney on the criminal matter, as well as potentially look at revising whatever current order exists re: his other 2 children,.
A: Print of that and get him a criminal defense lawyer.
