More details to this question:
We were evicted from our home and we never got a letter saying that the case was reopened so we missed his court date and he had a warrant issued for his arrest and he was taken into custody. Then we found out the man that he supposedly assaulted waited almost 30 days before going to the hospital and filed new charges. Please help me

Unfortunately there is no reule that requires the police or prosecutors to tell a person there is a warrant for their arrest. Your husband needs a lawyer - and if he qualifies for the public defender, he shoudl use them.
