What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NC
I reported my boyfriend of assault on a female in November and we r set to have court in Febuary. What is a legal reason to not show up? We habe both been served and I don't want to press charges. We are still together and It would be detrimental to our business as well as our relationship if I show up. Can I plea the 5th? I wasn't innocent in the fight and me retelling the incident truthfully can be self incriminating. Please help me.
