How can I Drop Assault Charges Against my Boyfriend? Who do I Need to Contact?
Can I drop the charges against my boyfriend for assault and get him out of jail? He lost his job and risks losing his car and everything. He was served a protective order for 72 hours for a “cooling off period” and he violated this by coming back to get clothes. Who can I contact to get him out, so we can seek some professional help, like anger management? What the the minimum and maximum sentence for child abuse? There was a physical abuse of a girl that I know and I was wondering what the penalties for a child abuse can be. I Called the Police on my Husband, Now that he’s been Arrested, How can I drop the charges? I was severely beaten and raped by an ex-boyfriend 3 months after the break up. The beating was so severe that I was in a coma for 4 days. I want to get him to sign away all his rights. Will his name still have to be on the birth certificate? A 24 year old girl I met a while back is having problems with her children’s father. She’s told me that he has threatened her before, but has never admitted to him actually hitting her. He also has a history of drug abuse and violent behavior. I want to know if there is anything I can do to help her? I am an immigrant, and unmarried. The father of my child and child-to-be is violent. Can I qualify for immigration help under the Domestic Violence act even though we were never married? My husband and I have recently tried to make a new life in Missouri, moving from Illinois. He was picked up here in Missouri last Wednesday and is now incarcerated in the local county jail on hold for the warrant in Illinois. What can we do? Can a state still prosecute a case against me if the alleged victim, my girlfriend, refuses to testify?
