    Default Statute of Limitations for Domestic Dispute Complaint

    What is the statute of limitation for responding to a Domestic dispute complaint, regardless even if the case has been dismissed, in the state of New York. It turns out that the complainant made false allegations to the police.

    In responding, give it based on starting date of incident, or when case was dismissed.

    Thanks in advance.

    What do you mean by "responding to a Domestic dispute complaint"? If a case was filed and dismissed, plainly the police did respond.

    Are you asking what the time frame is to make a complaint of some kind against the person that reported the domestic incident? Well, that would depend on whether you are talking about the statute of limitations for a civil suit or a potential criminal complaint. Which is it? And, can you PROVE that the reporting party knowingly and intentionally made up a false story to the cops?

    I am the accused; the complainant did not press charges, and the accusations made absolutely no sense, hence the court dismissed it, with an ACD. Within that 6 months period, I lost a job, despite my attorney telling me that I should be fine. All the employer did was a background search and said I have a court case, and the charges are serious.

    I never had the opportunity to give my own statement or response to the Police. Even thought the court has sealed the case, and the arrest record expunged, I know the Police still have a file in their station/precinct, which I hope they will allow me to file my own statement regardless (even if it is neutral, or it gives the impression of a false allegation, but I don't want to the Police to investigate.) I think this is tough.

    I want to know if one can do this anytime, regardless of how long the initial incident occurred? My objective is, so that if a private investigator conducting a background investigation goes to the precinct, which they will know, since most of them are former security operatives or police officers, and if they see the complaints on file, it will seem terrible to me, even though it is a false allegation.

    The stigma is what counts -when people base their decisions, not necessarily the accounts. All an employer has to say is, I don't want a person such as you; so if my account is given, it balances the perception of the decision maker, if it gets to this point.

    I hope I didn't confuse it all.

    I suppose it is criminal, but I wouldn't want the police to investigate because they are teenagers and my close relatives. I think the Police would easily determine that their story is false. I know the complainants' intellectual level.

    Hi Mr. Knowitall,

    Were you able to see my last response --does it make sense?

    Hasn't this already been discussed at length in another thread?

    If the police do not want to add your account to the file, they do not have to and you cannot make them.

    You also cannot set preconditions to prevent them from investigating a crime if your state implicates that one exists - especially since making a false police report is a crime against the state and not against you.

    Yes. But, all you can do is ask ... you cannot control whether the police add your written account to the file, nor can you control what they do with the information once you provide it to them. They can act as they see fit. They may choose not to act even if they allow you to add your statement to the file.

    I don't know about your state, but out here unless you are seeking a security clearance or a job in law enforcement, a prospective employer is almost certainly NOT going to see any crime report. Yes, it is a possibility, but it is very unlikely.
