[quote]Answer: When stbEX discovered I'd given my statement to the police, he quickly gave his lie-packed statement. He says he was defending himself. I think the police department leaked to him that I'd given a statement. The police and my lawyer say since he gave that statement that it could go either way and I could end up serving time if the court believed him over me. It was a one-time incident of physical abuse which was well documented with two MD reports, X-rays, and photos of my injuries. His only injury was where he rammed his head into my chest when he pushed me down and jumped on top of me and busted his lip in the process - but he didn't go to the MD for that.

I would consult with a different attorney. You have documented evidence of his assault. I don't think you have as much to worry about as your stbx does.

The fact that there are no children is going to make it somewhat easier to never have anything to do with him after your divorce is final.
