Unless you are a witness yourself, there isn't much you can do. You should really talk to your boyfriend's attorney on how to proceed. Have charges been filed yet? If not, the assigned prosecutor may be willing to hear you out.
You also cannot "make" anyone confess.... View More
Our relationship had nothing to do with his duties.

This is very serious. You need a consultation with a lawyer not in the county where the judge holds court.
My husband is already charged for one domestic battery charge and is being tried in court for a second charge on a different date. I have an op that allows him visitation every Other weekend. If I had the op dropped would that drop court ordered visitation?
answered on Jun 17, 2017
Yes, it would dismiss the visitation. But until u were gone from this state with your child for at least 6 mos, he could file a petition asking u to bring her back here.

Sue him for what? If it is for injuries sustained as a result of the abuse, you may or may not be able to sue him depending on the language contained in your Judgment for Dissolution. Some Marital Settlement Agreements specifically release the wrongdoer from any liability for tortious acts... View More

It is usually 72 hours unless a nocontract provision of your bond.
answered on May 23, 2017
I do not understand your question. If you want to press charges, that is a criminal matter and should cause you to go to the police. If you want an order of protection, or have one and want to male changes, you should see a family law attorney.
answered on May 20, 2017
Check wirh the clerk. The judge should have extended the cyrrent order until the next court date.
So i dont know if you can answer im sure you can because you are a lawyer but im only 18 and my ex girlfriend wants to get a restraining order on me. We live in different states and have been in a long distance relationship for a year. The reason she wants to get one on me is so i stop talking to... View More

Your are a smart 18 year old.
Most people, including many lawyers, don't understand the serious long term consequences of having an order of protection against them.
Send her a certified letter that you will not contact her again.
Its state pressed not by him
answered on May 3, 2017
If u have a no contact order being together is a violation. Going to get a marriage license together is a violation. Can't live together, get married, etc. Get the no contact order lifted first.
answered on Apr 28, 2017
First of all, u state no facts for us to conclude whether or not u r a victim of domestic violence. Just being a victim, in and of itself, has no legal significance. If some violence happened, u should have called the police and reported it. You might also get an order of protection, depending... View More
Constant text message threats accusing her of neglect and made up stories. Telling her he's keeping track of every "mistake" she makes. Telling her his wife has as much legal right as he does. All of this is isn't true, in fact, she's an amazing mother. He's excelling... View More

It sounds like the mother needs to have a consultation with a family law lawyer to get all of these issues straightened out and determine what legal remedy she has.

A public defender is his lawyer and he should talk to his lawyer.

Find another relative of hers who can help. You do not want to be charged with harboring a runaway.
She lies to the courts to get restraining order to keep me away from my son
If it is ok, are there rules as to what can be discussed and what not?
answered on Feb 18, 2017
Yes. The order just prevents him from contacting you. But he is not supposed to use her to send u messages.
Court as well his my husband and I don't want to presure with him being lock up I want to drop the charges what will happen to him
