    Default Charged With Mischief and Harassment After Kicking In My Own Front Door

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Colorado.

    I filed for divorce a few weeks ago because of my husbands abuse and drug use (cocaine). We have two boys together and were co parenting but separated. I have been staying with my parents for about 3 weeks on and off mostly on, but am still on the lease at our home. The other night i needed a place to stay. He was not expecting me to come home and wouldnt open the door for me because he had a girlfriend upstairs. He also had our boys there. I knew she was in there because he wouldnt answer the door and that is unlike him. I cried outside for a little bit and knocked.

    I then had to use the restroom. I begged to use it and then said id leave. My keys didnt work because he changed the lock recently with me knowing. I kicked in the door in anger and when i got inside i tried to go upstairs and find the girl. She hid the whole time and the police arrived soon after. I told them i had kicked in the door. They arrested me soon after and i got out of jail after court on a pr bond. I am charged with harassment and criminal mischief and im absolutely terrified. I have never been in trouble with the law before, im a stay at home mom, and now i cant see him or my kids due to a protection order. He works full time and im worried who has my boys.

    They have been through enough seeing me get hit multiple times by their dad. He is truly very abusive and has given me a bloody nose, black eyes, broken our bedroom door to get to me, pointed a gun at me twice, taken my phone, broke a phone, took the fuses out of my car so i couldnt leave him, parked behind my car to block me in, and done drugs around my kids. The problem is i never called the police on him. I have photos of my back eye, and a friend who my husband told that he held a gun to me jokingly, screenshots about his family talking to me asking if his drug addiction is still bad, and some other small things.

    Im worried he has a lot more on me with this arrest. He is the abuser but he is now trying to ruin my life since i wanted a divorce. I am meeting with a lawyer tomorrow. Do you think i have a chance of this being dismissed? I admitted to kicking down the door but never said i hit him or anything because i didnt. Any advice helps! Thank you.
