My 13 daughter an di had a disagreement one night. I pulled her hair. My son was supposedly on the phone with their dad. Dad says he called his police buddy. But the cops were called out. They showed up 2-3 hours after the incident. The talked to the kids privately and nothing else was done., They said it sounds like you had an off night. CPS was called and talked to all of us and they said the same thing and case closed. I recieved a citation exactly 2 months after the incident. I appear in our city court in 2 weeks for assault/family violence. I hear I will be ok just go and plead not guilty. But do I need an attorney. I am a educator so if they don't want to except me saying not guilty and want to press this along I can loose my license and of course my kids. Also makes me nervous because my ex has police friends. What do you think I should do? I don't know if this matters but I am constantly manipulated and emotional abused by my ex. It was bad when we were married and now he uses the kids against me. Like I think this incident was for the reason I said no to not paying my sons car insurance. I need some guidance please.
