DV-120, REASONS I DO NOT AGREE
Angelica manipulates our children to believe things that are not true. My oldest son can attest to this. Again Angelica has falsely accused me of being physical. Her accusations and her bringing up my personal history is tactic of hers to take away our children. I have never been able to have a saying in our childrens decision making. Her accusations stem from me for once standing up for my self once in a lifetime. Her controlling and verbal abuse is to blame for me making decisions every husband should have. Angelica is attempting to paint a picture of being violent by stating my past criminal history. I have been a productive member in today's society and my past criminal history should not be a concern.

During the custody case, they are only interested in how this affects the child’s best interest. They were not looking at emotional distress. She is also seeking damages for an injury not custody of her children, which was the goal of the previous…

If a person strikes another person on the condition of future harm and self-defense, they may not be entitled to rely on self-defense (Brody & Acker, 2010). When a woman assaults or kills her abusive husband, it is especially relevant (Brody & Acker, 2010). Battered Woman Syndrome theory was developed in the 1970’s for abused women. It is sometimes used in court as a mitigation in homicide cases where the battered spouse kills their abuser.…

    When a judge releases an offender on their promise to appear at the next court date, the order shows that the judge is serious that the offender is not to contact the victim. If the judge releases the offender without an order in place and the offender in turn hurts or kills the victim would not sit well in the public eyes. Another reason that order is routinely placed into effect is to prevent the victim from having to debate with the court on why they want an order. When a victim requests a protection order, the “criminal justice system process often victimizes them further" (LaViolette, & Barnett, 2014, p.76). Mrs. Lentz was very helpful and supportive to the victims who had no knowledge of the court process.…
