Hi everyone,
I have an out of control 15-year-old daughter that goes to my elderly (81-year-old) parent's house and exploits them for money. She is also very verbally abusive towards them. My mother called me and said I need to get her out of there and I knew it was serious because she normally likes to keep the peace and covers up for her.
I went over there and she would not leave. I was silly and tried to drag her out because I was worried for my mum. My daughter fell when trying to get her out and she made up lies about what happened. I was charged with common assault and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. I also had an AVO taken out (even though we are still allowed to be in the same house). There is more detail but it would take too long to write and this is the basics of what happened.
The next day she said sorry after she calmed down. I was told it's too late and the charge and AVO will need to be sorted in court. I have pleaded not guilty and the main court date is in 6 weeks or so.
I am in the security industry and also had an application in for the police. The charge and AVO will ruin that. My lawyer is confident about the charges getting thrown out. He said though the AVO will probably stay (that will destroy my chance of joining the police). Is there any way to get off the AVO?
Many thanks.
