after 10 years with my husband i had to go into a domestic violence shelter after he beat me. but even though this was his third violent attack on me the are dropping the charges calling it mutual combat cuz i hit him back once. his drug buddies were there and lied for him. but they did charge him on a violation of probation and he also has a pending d.u.i., along with a long criminal back ground of drugs and violence.
while in the domestic violence shelter i went to court requesting a hearing date for a restaining order and sole custody of our girls. at that time he was in jail, so i felt safe. now he was bailed out before his court date on 4/12/01. so i left that shelter and went to another one in washington close to my dad. for several reasons - i had no other family left after my mom died in dec 2000, and i felt in fear of him and his family, so to be closer to a supporting family i left state before my court date on 4/10 for the restraining order and custody. now i cant afford to fly back right now until i get a job, so i want to request for it to be taken off calendar for that day and request a post ponment.
what will happen if i dont show up in court, cuz he will be ther with an attorney and his family to fight me on custody?
how do i notify the court in time on tues morning?
will this look bad if i dont show up?
will he be able to prosecute me for kidnapping ?
