		<description><![CDATA[I am involved with a woman who's husband has been neglecting for several years. Recently, he became violent and assaulted his wife and I. He is currently on bail with a no contact order, and his actions have been increasingly erratic, especially toward her (bad enough that one occasion the police voluntarily escorted her home). Is it possible, or likely, that the judge will order us to stay apart to remove the fuel from the fire?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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?]]></description>

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.
