What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
I just recently had a domestic assault and breaking and entering charge against me dropped. I asked for a meeting with the prosecutor a week before the trial and showed that my now exgirlfriend lied to police, and had conjured up the story. The prosecutor dismissed both charges and that is great. However, I have incurred over $2000 in expenses relating to fighting this. Further, I was able to contact a former boyfriend of hers in Minnesota who was arrested twice for domestic assault on her. In his cases, both went to trial and he was found not guilty both times by a jury. He also tells me that there is another guy in Deluth and one in Colorado that she did the same thing to, although I have no way of finding out who these two other guys are. My question is, can I sue my ex in small claims court to recoup some or all of my expenses? She has a government job and makes a good income.
