I have been charged with domestic battery. It was self defense, but I did leave a mark on my fiance.
I have already spoken to an attorney and know that the charges will most likely not be formally filed under the circumstances. The state attorney for our district does not file charges like this, under these types of circumstances. So I'm not worried about that. (Well, I still am, because you never know)
My biggest concern is this: My children were asleep in their rooms, never woke up, saw/heard anything that happened, but because they were in the house the arresting officer informed CPS. We have not heard anything from CPS yet.. I wanted to know if anyone knows what will happen. Will they want to take the kids into protective custody or what will happen.... Any direction you can give me is better than the direction I have right now.
Thanks in advance.
