Turned into little wrestling match how can I help drop the charges
answered on May 10, 2023
My advice is that you hire a criminal defense attorney to guide and represent you through this----domestic violence cases are no longer a joke and if there was no criminal conduct involved, then you want to contest these charges. Good luck.

Will NM pursue violators out of state? Will they refuse a divorce? Will LA arrest and extradite?
answered on Jul 14, 2022
Based on your post, and while I do not know the specifics of all of this, my recommendation is that you should have your fiance take care of the New Mexico business ahead of time and before you get married. You do not want his past to all of a sudden impact you present or your future.

A suit for defamation is not precluded from what's in your post, however, whether or not you would recover would depend on the specific facts of your matter.

Take your child to a counselor to disclose her version and fear. Hire private eye to do a background check on the boyfriend. Hire a lawyer to file for emergency custody.
The defendant listed in restraining order is also the owner of the company which owns the home.
