| Maybe I am just worried (ok i am). My FH has court next week for a fight that happened 4 years ago. I don't know the whole story...but I'm scared for him. Does anyone know someone who's gone through this? I had a friend that couldn't leave the country for 4 years and had a curfew for a year............... my minds just OUTTA CONTROL!!!

Wow, I dont' know anyone in this situation but I'm suprised he's going to court over something so minor 4 years ago unless the other guy was hurt really bad (ie paralysed, brain damage, etc) I dont' know what to say but goodluck and I hope it all works out.

most likely it will be a mis-dimeanor. Nothing serious unless the other guy was hurt bad. If he was hurt bad your fh could be looking at house arrest, curfew, or community service. I had a case like this I had to look into during my practicum ( I am a cim major) and really its just a slap on the wrist. Don't be worried, the crown just has to follow procedures he will probably be told that this will be on his record but stayed.

| Has your FH retained an attorney? Has he talked to anyone about the charges against him? They don't just send you a notice saying, "You are being charged over a fight. See you there." My brother went through something similar recently and since it was his first offense he is on probation for one year. But why haven't you talked to a lawyer?!?!?!

| Yes he has a lawyer. This happened before I ever met him. And he just reminded me today that his court date was next week. I have never really been in a situation like this before, where someone I love has court over some drunk fight. But...the fact that he has a lawyer made me even more worried.... I dunno....this is a frist for me.

Don't be worried about the lawyer! The lawyer is a GOOD thing!  My brother's lawyer was able to explain what was happening and speak on his behalf and was able to strike a deal with the prosecution. He plead guilty to a misdemeanor assault and was released on 1 year's probation and some other minor restrictions (ex. no drinking, no drugs, must stay away from "victim"), etc.Don't worry though. Ask your FH what the lawyer has said about the situation. I find it strange it took 4 years to get in front of a judge though ... it took my brother's case 2 months?
