My boyfriend and I got into an argument which led to him punching me twice and pushing me onto the bed where my baby was sleeping. This was very out of character for him and I feel as though he had a mental breakdown after all the horrible things that have been happening to him lately.
If it had not been for my daughter gettin in the middle I wouldn't of called 911, I would of just had him go stay with his parents and go get help.
I did call the police and took my daughter via ambulance to the hospital to get checked out. She is 5 weeks old. Thank god she was perfectly fine. Neither of us suffered injurys but I am still very concered and want to take all the proper steps to make sure that this does not happen again.
I'm not sure what is going on though because the judge issued a no contact order and I feel like I'm the one being punnished more than he is!
I'm the one who has to deal with the aftermath of this (hospital,social workers, dss) all by myself. Im guessing he lost his job because of this because he is now in Rhode Island with his family, so no child support for me huh?
And he just gets arressted at 8am March 23 and is at home with his mother before 3pm! And spending the weekend with his brothers, while I'm here dealing with all of this mess.
I cant contact him to even find out if he wants to get help (he's been telling me that he wants to find out if he has bipolar disorder) and if he wants to work things out and be apart of his daughters life, or what!
If he's in Rhode Island can he legally call me?
I was not notified that a no contact order was in place, why?
I want to know what will happen to him? And how long do no contact orders typically last for a first offence domestic violence A&B charge? He has no criminal history. We have been together for 5 years and this was the first time anything like this has ever happend. I'm not trying to defend him as I think he should serve some sort of punnishment for what he did!
But I feel like the no contact order is hurting my daughter and I more than him. I have been going crazy trying to find out what is going on with him, I had to find out through the grapevine that he is in rhode island and that there is a no contact order in place.
Domestic assault
I'm sorry about your situation, but your question is very upsetting to me. The first line, in which you make excuses for your boyfriend's unacceptable behavior, is a classic and all too common response made by the victims of domestic abuse. Having said that, if you need legal assistance but cannot afford an attorney, try Masslegalhelp.org. If you qualify, they can find you an attorney who will help you sort through the complicated issues surrounding support and potential visitation. Good luck.
