I'm really confused as to whom your daughter's father is alleged to have battered and what child is the alleged victim of cruelty. Is his criminal defense attorney a public defender? At any rate, you should consult with a competent attorney that has experience and expertise in Domestic... View More
on account of firing a gun in the city limits under influence of alcohol and reckless conduct What are the penalties?
answered on Apr 17, 2018
From what you describe, it sounds like he has been charged with misdemeanors. The maximum sentence on each misdemeanor would be 12 months in jail. Most misdemeanors also carry a maximum fine of $1,000. However firing a gun under the influence is considered a High & Aggravated misdemeanor, so... View More

What can I do? And I'm from the NJ, in GA right now. Will I get in more trouble then him for maybe having a bunch warrant in Jersey for unpaid traffic tickets? Because he's using against me as while so I won't leave

Why would you be in trouble for being gay? If you are in an abusive relationship you need to get out and report it to the authorities. NJ is not going to extradite you for unpaid traffic tickets, so who cares what he says.

FA's do not prosecute TPO's. If the petitioner convinced the court they had no fear of the respondent, they would effectively be proving the exact opposite of what they need to.
I am trying to see how strong my case is. I called the domestic abuse hotline after work the day it happened and filed a report with the police once he no longer lived with me because I was afraid and confused
answered on Mar 16, 2018
The charges are based on the current allegations, not past acts. This doesn't mean you don't have a case, but it simply isn't based on whether this person is abusive generally, but rather if they hit you in this particular circumstance.

He's clearly violating probation. Call his probation officer or the police.
I called the police for the current domestic violence charges. I never called the police for the previous incidents which were more serious. Can I complain about the past domestic violence charges even though a police report was not filed? Is there a statute for domestic violence offenses?
answered on Mar 8, 2018
If there are criminal charges pending past incidents are not relevant to the disposition of the pending case. If you've filed for a protective order, it may be appropriate to include past incidents to explain why you fear the domestic violence will happen again.
I have raised my child as a single mother for the past 6 years. A domestic dispute turned into something that is completely false.
He is filing for divorce now. I have my motorcycle with me, I left the other vehicles with him. I have traded the motorcycle for a car but the new owner of the bike can't register it because my husband is holding the title hostage until I sign off on the divorce conditions: i.e. other... View More
