Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

domestic battery

i have been told there might be a warrant out for my arrest. I was the victim of domestic violence. I was assaulted by my ex fiance, and tried to call the police when the line to the phone was unplugged by the ex's mom. i then went for my cell, and her mom grabbed my arms from behind to keep me from getting my cell phone. I jerked away from her and my ex was struck because she was coming at me at the same time. a knife was then grabbed and weilded at me. then she dropped the knife and continued to swing at me. I left. I have been assaulted before in the past. two weeks prior to this event, the police were at my house. my ex was in the back of the cop car. i was scratched up and had a bite wound on my back. i wrote in the report that nothing happened and that the wound were from something else. the ex has apparently filed charges. she found out that she could recieve a large amount of money to relocate if she did. her mom found this out for her. the ex and her mom are always doing things to weasel money from the state. my question is, how screwed am i, and if there is someone i can talk to before i turn myself in.
