| They may add no alcohol as a condition of his probation. They did this with my brother because there was alcohol involved in the incident. Also, my brother doesn't have a curfew or anything like that. He has to check in with his probation officer once a week (goes for an interview which they work around his work schedule) but he doesn't have to be home by a certain time or anything. Again, if it's his first offence they probably won't be TOO hard on him depending on the severity of the bar fight.

| As previous poster said a lawyer is a good thing. He needs someone to represent his interests, and it's just part of procedure. If it's his first run in with the law he'll probably have some conditions, and be on probation for like a year. He may even be able to report to the probation officer in person one month and then by phone the next time. I definitely would not worry about anything. Even if he has to cross the border he could probably get special permission from his probation officer, or just has to let him/her know where he's going. I know the whole thing about going to court and legal stuff can be scary, but honestly, don't worry about it

I think there is no need to worry. For a first offence there is rarely a serious judgement. Probabtion is likely... but that is nothing to worry about either. We all do silly things for time to time.. i am sure that everything will work out well. You FH has been trouble free since this time and i am sure that the judge will take this into consideration.

ottmann2 (5/8/2008)
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!!!  I'd be a tad concerned about "not knowing the whole story" about something that has the man I am marrying going to court. Shouldn't you know all the details?

Similar thing happened to my FH when we first got together. 4 months after we started dating he got arrested and charged with assault. we went to court 6 months to a year later, i was so scared. I thought he would end up in jail, even his lawyer thought the worst because of the judge he had that day, but once the whole thing started and he saw the *** between my fh and the idiot he hit plus an outburst in court from his family my fh ended up getting a conditional discharge which means it's on his record for a few years then wiped off. He had to do community service & was on probation for 2 years and couldn't travel to the U.S. for that time either and banned from the blockbuster location where the fight happened. Everything is fine now.
