Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio
Falsely accused of Domestic Violence
My nephew was recently arrested and charged with domestic violence based upon testimony from a woman over a women's shelter that his wife had called and went to, she had no pictures with her to prove what she said. His wife only had one bruise on her back from hitting the door as she tried to keep him from leaving the house. What are HIS rights, are there any groups to help him located in Ohio?

I'm writing on behalf of Attorney Edward DiCato. Upon checking his messages for him as he's regretfully in the hospital at this time. He'll be sure to respond to you as soon as possible once he's released from the hospital. Thank you for your patience.

DV's usually only have the witness of the victim and the alleged wrong doer
To prevail in a DV the victim usually has to testify and the accused has a right to cross examine that victim or any other witness during a trial.
He has the right to a jury of eight persons who must all find him guilty before he can be convicted.
Re: Falsely accused of Domestic Violence
I suggest contacting the Ohio Domestic Violence Network. While the focus is on female victims, male victims are also given consideration.
