Q: My partner and I got into an argument that escalated into me involving the cops. My girlfriend was charged with domestic
Domestic assault with bodily injury. I only had a scratch under my eye. We have remained together. Her ex husband is trying to take their child and the child was in no way involved. Charges happened in TN and I signed an affidavit to try and get them to drop charges since the cops pressed charges and not me. The ex husband is basically bullying my girlfriend stating the child can no longer be around me. There has never been an incident involving the child ever. What can we do? We are totally fine and are both in counseling.
A: Your best bet is going to be to contact an experienced criminal defense lawyer in Texas, since these charges stemmed from conduct that happened there.
