    You have no idea how assault charges go. The charges are from the State, not a person. It isn’t a civil case. (Also you could be in another country, so maybe it is different in your country)

    Also a civil suit can be filed separately for restitution by the person. So you could have criminal and civil suits side by side

    Note: most domestic violence charges in the U.S. the partner does NOT want charges to be placed.

      “the charges come form the state” So there are charges. That’s what I said. Are you slow???
