    Default Advice on Domestic Charges

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Northern Ireland United Kingdom

    Hi, around 4 months ago my girlfriend came home drunk giving me grief spilling burger from the chippy everywhere i was lying on the sofa oppisite side of the livingroom and after verbal confrontation i threw the sky remote towards the direction of my girlfriend hitting her in the check bone.

    She didnt have any major injuries but then assulted me digging her nails into my neck i try'd to get her off but couldnt so i pulled her hair to get her off, she rang 999 then hung up!!!

    Now when it was more or less all sorted we were going about our business and next thing the police arrived somehow the traced my mobile number dont know how, my girlfriend was very drunk and our almost 2 year old daughter was still up who witnessed half of the stuff that went on.

    They took me into the kitchen and spoke to clare alone then decided to arrest me, now i was well mannered so went got questioned with no solicitor as i didnt want one, i explained it was an accident they insisted i seen a police doctor due to my injuries on my neck and also asked did i want to press charges on my girlfriend which i said no.

    I was released then months later got a summons to appear in court it was then i decided to go see my solicitor, he got the 1st court date put back and wrote to the pps to say it was an accident and could a police caution do???

    They declined and said there was previous domestic violence history, the onyl previous domestic violence history was argueing and me refusing to leave i mean its my home aswell and i was paying the bills and keeping my girlfriend these issues were at a previous address when we had no child it was a flat.

    Now since my daughter was born 2 years ago i have not been in trouble once have kept a clean slate, i do have a criminal record for arson as a kid and assults on men like fighting after a pub.

    What do you think my punishement will be??

    Clare and i were due are 2nd baby only she miscarraged this was nothing to do with any of this as when we tryed for the 2nd child all this was put behind us and was well after the time of it all.

    I lost my job recently aswell due to the reccission and mind our child when Clare is at work, i play a big part in the familys life and am always there for them everyday, we are very settle and happy!!

    My girlfriend never pressed charges and is willing to stand in court as a witness and say it was an accident.

    Shall i pleaed guilty 1st time or fight the case?

    Im sorry bout spelling or the way ive wrote this as im not the brightess bulp out there when it comes to proper english.

    Many thanks Connor
