We can press charges but since no one but me saw who started it and my husband fought back to defend himself the charges would probably be thrown out or pleaded down to a misdemeanor. My husband can file a protective order and blanket it over the kids which would mean that the boyfriend would have to move out. That's what we would really like to do because we don't want him around the kids but if we do that then the little bit of civil ground we've gained with BM will be gone forever. So we don't know what to do.
