Legal Question in Criminal Law in Nevada

I was taken to county jail because I called the cops on my wife for going crazy and hitting me. I pushed her away from me and got out of the house. When the cops arrived they said they had to take someone to jail because of state law, since I am not our sons biological father he would have been taken away by CPS if she went. SO i said I would go and be held for 12 hours on a cool down period. When I went to my court date all they said was that I have to return in 60 days for another appearance. No one is pressing charges, so I do not understand why I need to go back. I am trying to get into the Air Force and would like to know if after the next court date I will have A domestic or battery charge on my record.

If your wife does not want to testify then that will be a problem for the State when they are presenting their case to the judge at the time of trial,
