What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
Husband and I got into an altercation in front of our children. We were both under the influence of alcohol. My husband's statement said that we slapped each other. I recalled pushing, not slapping. 10 year old daughter stated that he took me into the other room and hit me. However, we just continued to yell at each other. My husband has no record and I had a similar case dimissed 3 years ago. We are on a no contact and the children are with relatives. This altercation only happened because of the alcohol and we both agree alcohol is a problem and will no longer be tolerated in our lives. Is there any way to get a motion to suppress statements since we were intoxicated and /or our daughter's statement, since she was not in the room and she was scared and it happened so fast. Or is there any way we both could get a pretrail probation? We understand we are in need of services and feel terrible that the altercation happened in the first place. We are willing to get any services the DFC or the county thinks we need and for our children. I just graduated from college and he is to start college soon. Having this on our records will only hinder our careers in the future. Thank you.
