Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

My exboyfriend is in jail for violation of a restraining order ( i am the victim) and for battery. He got the battery charge in october and got out on bond, but went back to jail dec 1st for violating the restraining order. He has a bond for the vioaltion but no bond for the battery. I feel bad because i initiated contact but my dad called the police when he heard us fighting and they arrested him even thought i said i let him in. He has been in jail for 30 days now and his court is jan 5th. What can we expect at court. (ps i have droppped the restraining order now, but i heard that wont help) Will it help if i show up to court and tell the judge i initated contact? Any ideas on a offer the state might have? Any help would be appreciated greatly.

Probably the best thing you can do is one of two things. Either hire yourself an attorney to represent your interests, which would be your best option. Or if your only goal is to get your boyfriend out and that you have absolutely no fear of him, then you can contact your boyfriend's attorney and tell his attorney these things, who can then inform the judge and the state of your position.
