How can I press charges against my sister's boyfriend for domestic abuse using texts she sent me giving detailed information on how he's hit her?

Answered 12 years and 4 months ago by James Courtney (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Domestic Violence
If you have texts from her saying he hit her, you can take them to the police department where the crime would have occurred and see if they will go talk to her.  Her texts stating that he had done something really isn't enough evidence to get a warrant.  She will need to tell them more specifics about what happened.  Now if you had texts from him saying he had done it, that might be a different story.  There are women's shelters that she could go to, that will give her protection and will help her get him arrested.  ...

will the police take action if I call them on my dad for pushing my son around?

Answered 12 years and 4 months ago by James Courtney (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Domestic Violence
You may have cause for concern with your son being the victim of a crime, but the police should at the very least take a report if you report your father's behavior to them.  If your son has lived with your father or lives with him now, your father could be charged with domestic violence.  You don't say how old your son is, but he might have to talk to the police too.  Most likely your father could be charged with assault and battery, which would be a misdemeanor, and would get a ticket and a court date.  If the police won't take a report of a crime within their jurisdiction, you should talk to a captain on that department to get some answers as to why.  If you still aren't satisfied, you could report the department to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) who may investigate the department to find out why they aren't doing their job.  ...

Can a CDV charge be dropped ony husband if I chose not to pursue the case?

Answered 12 years and 7 months ago by Dr. Michael Gordon Sribnick (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Domestic Violence
I am a board certified internist and an attorney in S.C.  Once you filled out the report and signed it the case belongs to the state of S.C., and your husband will be charged and prosecuted by the state.  I would suggest he hire a criminal lawyer, like me; but I do not solicit clients. This answer, in fact, does not create a lawyer/client relationship.   Regards, Michael G. Sribnick, M.D., J.D. Attorney at Law www.michaelsribnicklaw.com... Read More
