Why do you care?
Are you still with him?

I think u will have to ask his solicitor if u are still with him. Or get one of your own if not as u are involved in the case (i.e. the common assault was on you). Victim support may be of some help too.

I went to court last week for common assault against me from my husband, while I was holding our 3 month old child. As there was only me and him there. The crown prosecution service advised to agree to (I think it was called a passover) anyway it's a civil agreement that he agrees to behaved reasonably. he now has to been reasonable for 1 year. (I've had several harassment things over the last year since the original assault). if he breaks this rule, he will go back to court for the original assault and harassment which I have been told is easier to prove. I have no idea if it was the right decision.

Remember the magistrates have to belief without a shadow of doubt that he is guilty. If he manages to instil any confusion in their minds he gets not guilty.

The other thing I discovered, is the court books hearings for 2 cases knowing they can only hear 1. They put loads of pressure to agree to a civil agreement if I had know about this in advance I would have looked it up.

I guess it all depends on what you are like, and what he is like. Only you can decide.

Good Luck.
