My question involves criminal law for the state of: Washington
My boyfriend just got a court summons for an assault charge that supposedly took place back in May of this year. The person who is accusing is the mother of his child (Never in a relationship). He is currently on probation for a drug related charge and it ends in February it has been two years (Probation was extended due to violation he was told to go to drug and alcohol treatment he did not have the money he was un-employed.) He and this women did not have contact from April to July didnt see her, talk to her, or even live in the same town. In the past he has been a poor excuse for a father and I believe she has found out that when he finishes treatment and his probation ends he will seek legal rights to his 7 year old son and wishes to prevent it. She has in the past threatened to get a restraining order against him so he cannot see his son.
1.What are the legal ramifications for this women trying to charge him with assault falsely and how can we pursue them?
2. How can we protect his rights for his son to she cannot get a restraining order against him?
