Need Advice-Abusive Alcoholic husband in custody
This evening, i experienced an episode of domestic abuse with my alcoholic husband. 911 was called. The police arrived and took my husband into custody. As i understand from the police officer's explanation, if i want to press charges i need to appear in front of the DA tomorrow at 9AM. If i do not appear in court the charges will be dropped. Things just really escalated tonight...he is typically not abusive. My question is: should i end up filing for divorce is it in my best interest to appear in court tomorrow and formally file charges? Would filing help my divorce case? I have no chidren. What happens to my husband if i do file charges? Is he kept in jail and is there typically a hearing and sentencing? Thank you for your help!
