I am 23 years old. I have a simple assault charge pending for hitting my baby's father in public. I caught him at a restaurant with another female (not his girlfriend) who I don't trust around my child, and they both know this. I've asked him not to take my daughter around her. Anyway, I got upset and hit him and the police were called. He was arrested, but I was given a citation. It is my first offense, and he didn't press charges. I am trying to pursue a JD degree, and can't have this on my record. I can't afford an attorney. I am so nervous and don't know what to do. He was also cheating on me, and we were going to be married. He's trying to hurt me because I wouldn't let him move in with me and my daughter. How do I fight this? Also, I pressed charges against him a month after that for causing bodily injury.
