Dropping domestic violence charges

05/04/10 11:37 AM

My cousin was attacked by his wife. She was subsequently arrested and he filed for a restraining order. They went to court and he was granted a permanent restraining order. He currently has custody of his children, sole use of their residence, and his wife has limited visitation of their children. She isn't even allowed sleepovers.

Right now he has a pending domestic violence charge against her. His lawyer wants him to drop this charge because he feels that it may cause her to lose her job and that can play in to the divorce proceedings, alimony and such. He feels that at this point my cousin is in the drivers seat and that a successful prosecution could potentially cost him in the end if she does indeed lose her job over it.

I was wondering what some of you that may have been through this think about that? I'm not a lawyer so I don't know what he should do.
