I was booked the other night in jail in Washington state for 4th degree assault, domestic violence. My boyfriend and I got in a verbal argument and I was very upset and picked up the remote and hit him in the arm with it. I left no bruises however he wanted me out of the house we both live in (its in his name). So he called the cops and I was arrested. We share a three month old son who stayed with him overnight. I was arraigned the next afternoon and released. I now have a no contact order with him, however, he does not want this and neither do I. My mother had to go pick up some of my belongings and our son for me. He didn't know this would happen and just wanted me to leave the house. I do not have anything else on my record besides a traffic citation. I wanted to know how good my chances are of getting the no contact order lifted and not have to spend up to a year in jail or pay high fines. I do have a job and my boyfriend does not. I don't get much help with my family and have been having to stay the night other places and this has been really hard on me and my son.
