After my wife assaulted me and I restrained her from continued strikes- I was arrested for DV and charged with 1st Degree, 2nd Degree and 2 counts if RE. She filed for a PO which got denied after it was established in cross exam she sought me out in the home and hit me unprovoked- yes we were arguing and i was packing to leave but no threats no assault prior to her striking me. And all the evidence showed that she sustained no injuries in the restraint.

Unfortunately the state (likely because of policy) has decided to continue with the criminal charges.

Meanwhile I am looking at a divorce that probably results in paying for an expensive home that she will continue to live in and alimony (not mentioning Child Support because common guys- we need to pay our child support).

My attorney is trying to delay the divorce process as long as we can so we can get through the criminal charges- but its going to be tough. The state has been dragging their feet.

In what world can a woman assault a man- have him arrested and barred from his home (via criminal case no contact), continue to live off his income- making regular trips to the dispensary to get stoned all day- maintain their “standard of living”- while the productive and supportive party is protected by “basic living needs”
