What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
5 months ago my ex husband assaulted me and my fiance. Since my fiance fought back and the ex husband was marked up he got a ppo out on the fiance, and pressed charges. 5 months, 16 court dates, a witness coming forward, and thousands upon thousands of dollars later everything has been dropped and the fiance is in the clear. The ex even tried to get custody of our son using the ppo which was also denied but I had to go to friend of the court 4 times. Why is my lawyer telling me now to take the high road and forget about it all and it won't be worth trying to get restitution? How is this fair? Isnt there anything I can do?
