Legal Question in Criminal Law in Illinois

bar brawl

My daughter got in a fight with ex-husbands girlfriend....

The girlfriend has been harassing my daughter on the phone when she drinks...and

a fight started at a local

establishment recently. The

girlfriend went to hit my daughter and my daughter punched her in the face....

Supposedly 2 days later the ex-husband is telling her a police report was filed which wasn't yet almost a week later

and also told us the next day

that she has a broken nose.

We can't beleve the drama...what

recourse does my daughter have

and can they pursue this?

Re: bar brawl

Hello. It may be too late for your daughter to

file a police report against your ex-husband's girlfriend, but she may want to file a lawsuit later. At this time there probably is nothing she can do, but wait to see if the State's Attorney will bring charges. She should have a lawyer in place, if this should happen. Will be happy to answer any additional questions you may have.
