if this was not really a case of DV, best of luck to you.
Hitting a spouse is never right but there are also situations that are not truly DV yet the police are really limited in what they can turn a blind eye to anymore.
Chances are, if there is a call to the police involving domestic abuse and there is ANY evidence of DV, somebody is going to jail. The courts have taken the stance that something will be done. There have been too many situations where the officers believed that all was well only to get called back out for the same thing and sometimes, it was a lot worse the 2nd time around.
