Any charge related to domestic violence or
domestic abuse can extremely tricky. The fact is
that even very borderline cases with little evidence
are often strenuously prosecuted for the simple fact
that these charges are very political.
District attorneys and prosecutors can't afford
to be perceived as "soft on domestic violence", so
they will regularly pursue cases with flimsy
evidence, when if the exact same case were a simple
assault charge, it would get dismissed.

peace order or protective order

options and your rights in court. Failure to comply
with a protective order or peace order can be a
perfectly innocent mistake or false accusation, but
