More details to this question:
My husband and I got in a small fuss and he pushed me around. I was not badly hurt. My father was more upset than I was and he called police. I filled out victim form as police requested . I contacted police and they said that CDV charges cannot be dropped .

Update Your Profile
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.
