Q: Is it legal to have as a bond requirement a man must stay away from his wife although they both want to be together?
They had an argument, she hit him and he grabbed her arm to stop her. She did not file anything against him. The neighbor took the two teenage children to the police and they lied about what happened. The police showed up the next day and arrested the man although the wife said it didn't happen that way. She hit him, he didn't hit her and he had the bruises to show it. They have been apart over 45 days now and the judge refuses to even talk to the wife anymore. I don't understand how it is legal to keep two adults apart when they want to be together.
