Legal Question in Family Law in California
Quick question. Here's the circumstance. Husband left me. We have an 8 year old. He comes by to visit our daughter once a week. During the course of our marriage, i got physical & slapped him 3 times during arguments. That's the extent. He never touched me. Can he file spousal abuse over those events in the past? Nothing was ever filed or reported during those times. Please give me your feedback.

Without more information no one can answer your question. The general rule is that misdemeanors have a one year statute of limitations. Felonies generally have a3 year statute of limitation. Some of the more serious felonies involving sexual acts have a much longer statute of limitations
Parental conduct can weigh significantly in the determination of child custody arrangements. In your case, more information is needed to see if your situation could justify a parenting time share limitation by your ex claiming domestic violence.
