More details to this question:
My husband is facing aggravated assault charges because someone saw him hit me and called the cops. I initial gave a statement which states that i do not want to press charges. Im still being sent letters to appear in court and being told that a bench warrant will be issued if i do not comply. Me and my husband are still together and i do not want him to go to jail. What can i do if anything to avoid court?

If you are being court ordered to attend, you need to attend. If a bench warrant is issued, they will arrest you and hold you until trial--not something you want to go through.
