Am i required to show up for court for the charges to go thru? I was never told to and Im trying to run from hm and get away safely
Call and talk to the DA’s office.
Also trying to contact him thru his son while he is incarcerated is that okay?
No lawyer can answer question without seeing all of the facts. Many District Attorney offices prosecute regardless of position of alleged victim.

Wht would you take a deal in July 2018, do time and not raise this as a defense until Jun 2020? You can appeal for new evidence. This is old evidence. Tou can also appeal for incompetent representation. But why wait so long?
Will I be penalized?
If the complainant doesn't show up,it will likely be dismissed.

You need to fill out a drop charge form with the Disteict Attorney.
Knife was on site not in my possession. Can he write an affidavit to drop charges?
Yes but the D.A. still makes the decision.
It happened in 2017. I wanted to drop the charges but was afraid and now I regret everything. I really want all this to be dropped so he can get a good job
Contact the District Attorney's Office. But it may be a done deal.
She was drunk and grabbed me, I removed her arm from around my neck I have video of her approaching and grabbing my phone as well as her being drunk this morning. So she’s lying saying I assaulted her bc her arm has a slight mark. I want it to be documented but I’m scared bc I don’t know the law
No don't call the police. But email the video and photos to someone so if she files a complaint, she can't delete it from your phone and if the police seize your phone, your attorney can have access to it. Then call an attorney if you don't want to remain married to a drunk.

You're right, you need a lawyer to file a Protective Order, for divorce, custody and child support. If you don't, Child Protective Services could step in and put your children in foster care.
hes been in jail for 40 days now. He was on probation prior to this charge. But he just has Domestic battery 2nd charge on 02/21/2020. Can he be put on probation or do any counseling like anger management classes, AA meeting or something?
Were you the victim of the domestic violence? If so, why are you trying to get him out? He now has a probation violation to deal with also so they will not bond him out. At the least, he will have to do a Domestic Violence Intervention Program which is 26 weeks long and a drug test and an... Read more »
What can I do? No bond is being set they’re saying I have to wait until Gwen’s law case is presented? And I’m unsure about what that is
He's being held without bond because he has been charged with domestic violence. Hire a criminal attorney for him.
You can. But he can't. However your reaching out to him can be used to show you are not afraid of him or are baiting him
So don't.
