husband assuault

[gothikgrl]

My husband was given probation for assaulting me in feb. Just over a week ago he threw a huge hardback book at me and was arrested. He was not given bail and is on remand in prison. The reason he did these things is cos he drinks and has mental health problems. He is fine when he has not drank. He is due to go court soon and i would like to know will he get a custodial sentence. I really hope not as i miss him so much and he has agreed to get help. He cannot phone me but i can e mail him and messages get through his mum. If he does get sent back will i be able to visit him?

He wont go to prison, maybe a fine & warning but he will have a conviction that may affect his job. Anger management course for him.

if he does get off can you not ask him to give up drink for you?

[gothikgrl]

i cannot get the info you asked for no one will tell me anything it is like getting blood out of a stone. By sent back i mean he is on probation now and in court friday so by sent back i mean actually convicted he has never been to jail and feb was the first time he has been in trouble with police

[gothikgrl]

also want to know how long he may get if he goes to prison

[chrissa1]

Don't you mean "Remand"?

[gothikgrl]

he did plead guilty and yes i did mean remand! i have been told that the time he has already served will be taken into account i just want him out of there! I do not know who his solicitor is i have tried to find this out from court etc but people have refused to tell me. i asked my mother in law to ask him who his solicitor is but he ran out of phone credit and was unable to tell her. sorry for being so vague but i really have not been able to find anything out. I do not think i can face going to the court to be honest.

[gothikgrl]

also last time he went to court no reports were asked for such as mental health, medical etc only probation did a report

[gothikgrl]

yes he does have forbidden contact hence messages through his mother. Thanks for the luck i will post on here when i find anything out

[gothikgrl]

only info i can get is he has been charged with common assault and he pleaded guilty

[TIGERS15081962]

He would be forbidden contact with you as he would fall under MAPPA (Multi Agency Public Protection guidelines) chapter 4 I think. As such if convicted and sentenced he would not be eligable for HDC (HOME DETENTION CURFEW) (TAG) Time for remand is no longer automatic as of 2008 and is considered if the Judge recommends

[gothikgrl]

he is home now has probation did not have to go back to prison
