What is the name of your state? NJ
I live with my wife and two children and her son from a previous marraige. I am 37 he is 15. Several times he has threatened me and raised his fists at me. I am bigger than he is and i am not afraid of him but if he ends up swinging at me and hitting me can i as a adult defend myself against him?? I am afraid that if i hit him even in defence i will go to jail just because i am a adult and bigger then he is.What are my legal options here???
Please help.
Nicolai

(P.S. this will also help my children because they dont need this kind of example to grow up with)
