Both My Girlfriend And I Were Arrested For Domestic Violence
Both of us where arrested for DV. She had hit me twice on the face and I had slapped her on the forearm. This was something that just got way out of hand, I called the cops and they arrested both of us. We have worked things out and are still together. What can we do to have these charges dropped? Or is that even possible?
Neither one of us has ever been arrested before......we're not white trash who's always in trouble with the law, etc. Surely this can be taken into consideration???
Edit: We are in Kansas.

You called the cops.
They got involved.
Both y'all signed papers agreeing to prosecute it.
There's no backing out now.

Consult a lawyer. Particularly for first time offenses, it may be possible to work out a resolution which avoids a criminal conviction. There may be information on domestic violence programs on your County Court or County Prosecutor's websites.
