What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? COLORADO
I am a male victim and the primary wage earner. My lawyer tells me that my evidence in the DV case could very well lead to her not being able to be employed in the school system.
Do I have any 5th amendment rights since my testimony will harm me in the settlement of the divorce? It makes no sense that the courts can essentially force me to remain a victim for several years when the DV case is minor to begin with.
