My husband was arrested for DV assault a few months ago and he's been charged with misdemeanor DV assault.
I've refused to testify and the charges will be dropped. We did separate, but have since reconciled and are working on our relationship through counseling. Prior to this, my husband and I filed for AOS and his case is still pending. Will this arrest cause problems with the process. We're prepared to have to answer for it all during the interview, but will a Domestic Violence arrest exclude him from changing his status, even though he's not been convicted? Will the fact that we've lived apart for a few months be held against us, in light of the situation? If he moves out of state, to live with me, is this going to be an issue?
I know that we need an attorney, but we're just trying to get a basic idea of what our options are.
