How do you fight a domestic violence charge ?

My husband has been arrested and charged with domestic violence. He is being accused of choking my oldest daughter.

She never told me personally of this incident and i have major doubts. Where do we start with his defense?

You start by hiring a lawyer. No lawyer can condense years of training and experience into a few sentences for you to read. More importantly, if you try to help on the case you will be guilty of practicing law without a license.

Me ex has an ex parte on me claiming she is terrified of me. We share on the title a minivan that she came to my home and took.

Can she violate her own ex parte and come to home to take the vehicle while I’m sleeping? Can I petition to have the ex parte dropped since clearly I’m not a threat to her? The claims she made on the ex parte had no evidence backing them more did I ever hurt her. Why should I have an ex parte on my record that allows her to come to my home?

Justin’s Answer

She does not have an ex parte; YOU do. So there is nothing for her to violate. You must appear in court to fight the ex parte. I suggest hiring a lawyer to go with you.
