[QUOTE="Dove, post: 271280, member: 535"] I'm not aware of the differences there. I know in MI, you pretty much need to be completely lying OR have survived a murder attempt to get anything done. Or a long list of unwanted malicious contact to get any sort of RO. I had a friend who was in an unstable marriage where they both drank on a nightly basis. And they were going through IVF treatments....which to me is insane, because if you are remortgaging your house and taking hormone shots to prepare your body to conceive WHY the fuck would you be drinking at all let alone heavily....but whatever. One night they got into a big fight while drunk. So she went into the bathroom and legit punched herself several times until her face was all bruised. Then she called the police and said he attacked her. The next day she realized what she had done and told on herself. They didn't care, they still held him. She even went and told the court and read a letter about her bad mental health and drinking and that she lied. He was still charged. On the basis that victims of domestic violence often end up lying later to protect their abuser. ....which is insane to me. I know people do that, but if they choose to do that it's on THEM. It shouldnt be okay to charge innocent people just because that person could be lying to protect them. He had to do like 90 days in county and I couldn't believe he didnt divorce the shit out of her. If someone did that to me I would file immediately and never speak to them again. [/QUOTE]
