Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia
I have been told if you visit your spouse in jail while he is waiting trial for domestic violence charges that they have to drop the charges. We live in Georgia and he served 1 year in county jail then shipped to Jackson. They gave him 12 years when they told me they would like to see him serve 1 year and I agree with that but never wanted 12 years then he says when he gets parole that he still can't live with me and our daughter. Is this true?

I have no idea who would have made such a ridiculous and untrue statement, but no, your visit didn't change the charges. In most domestic vbiolence cases, to protect you and your daughter, a condition of probation or paraole may be no contact. It is very alarming that you hint that you'd want contact and put the two of you at risk. Please get counseling to find out why you want to risk your well-being, and your child's, and be thankful the state saved your well-being, and possibly, since abusers usually abuse again, your life.
