It's taken every dime I and my brother have to hire an attorney. I live in a different town, so , I've just now found out my brother only hired the attorney to handle the 'custody' side of his case. Anyway.
Oct 31st, there was an altercation. My brother's ex blocked him from leaving the parking lot of her workplace because my brother asked that she not bring her 'new' boyfriend trick or treating with the kids, as they do not get along. She sits on my brother's lap in the driver's seat while her boyfriend attempts to remove my brother's children ( 1 & 2 yrs old) from the car. My brother gets his ex off of his lap and pulls the new boyfriend out of the backseat. Boyfriend hits the ground (injuries reported at the scene were consistant) but this boyfriend then comes at my brother and a fight ensues. My brother then realizes the children have been removed from his car by other employees at the ex's workplace, so he gets into his car to drive to the police station. There were other charges , but my brother and the new boyfriend both received 3rd degree battery citations.
So I've recently found out that the other guy is some sort of amatuer MMA fighter and at least two times this year, August 29th and March 14-16 sometime, he's went out of town to particpate in said fights.
My question is, how important is this to my brother's case to show that this guy participates in MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fights, even if he's not a professional? Also, how could my brother approach either the arresting officer or prosecutor with this information on his own?
[I know this should have been brought up the night in question, but I guess my brother was extremely upset, as this was the SECOND time in a week, that the new boyfriend had physically prevented my brother from seeing his children. For the record, he has NOT seen them since Oct 31st, because the ex-girlfriend got an Order of Protection, then amended it to add the children. That's what the attorney has been hired to handle. ]
Thanks.
