You could get an attorney. That is sometimes the best way to handle this.

You shouold have no problem dismissing the charges, You will be asked to speak to a domestic violence counselor, and you can tell them that the charges got exaggerated, that you wish to drop them, that you are now married to the defendant. It would be best if you both had atgtorneys. If youwant to talk to me further, you may call or e-mail me.
