What is the name of your state? Oregon
on january 1, 2005 my husband came home drunk and not only did he physically harm me but he also harmed our three year old daughter. not to mention that my two other children were home and my niece and nephew were present. i had him arrested for dv, i filed a restraining order, & i packed a few things of mine and the childrens and we left the state. he has contested to the restraining order for the custody of the kids, i am afraid that by leaving the state i may have committed a crime with my kids. he is being charged with 2 assault 4 felonys, 2 assaults, 1 reckless endangering, a 4 counts of harrassment, i know that the da is offering a deal w/o the assault 4 felonys, my question is when i go to court for the child custody hearing im i going to charged with a crime??????? leaving the state was our only chance i do beleive to make things better, the abuse had been ongoing for the last 3yrs to me but it was also in front of my children, if it is against the law for me to be out of state, then id just rather keep hiding in order for my children to enjoy their life in a safe and secure environment.
