Legal Question in Family Law in Washington
False domestic violence case
My daughter and son-in-law had an argument shortly after their marriage outside our apartment. The manager was concerned and called the police because my daughter was crying, and had fallen down. Although my daughter protested, due to state law, the police arrested my son-in-law. They later released him with no charges filed.
They went to court, and told the judge that it had been an argument caused by stress (she had a miscarriage 1 month before), and her fall was due to the grass being wet (not deliberate action on the part of my son-in-law). She had no bruises, and stated emphatically there was no abuse.
The judge didn't care, and issued a protection order based soley on statistics not the facts of the case. He also ordered my son-in-law to undergo counseling (which was not financially feasible).
What can be done to recind the protection order. It is supposed to be in effect until 2004! I live with them, and there is NO abuse. I would be in jail for murder if there was!

Re: False domestic violence case
This kind of injustice can not be allowed to exist. The judge needs to feel political heat, and the police, and anyone else who can be sued, should be sued.
Domestic violence, like child abuse, is an issue that is often agenda--not fact or justice--driven.
Feel free to call me. If I can not help I will try to refer to someone who can.
