I am experiencing this very situation in my own personal life with a Gentleman that I've known for over 20 years and have been in an intimate relationship for the last 3 years. His former spouse has accused him on two occasions (arrested in the first), and we are at a loss as to how to protect ourselves against any future fabrications. There are three precious children involved whom he has physical custody of due to the instability of their Mother. I also concur that it is not my intention to dismiss the severity of domestic violence against women OR men, however, there has to be proof in order for the innocent to also be protected.Jun 17th, 2009Someone from East Olympia, WA signed.

I have seen some abuse the system time and time again for the past decade. She needs to spend a month or two in jail for false reports and maybe she will stop abusing the law.REPORT COMMENTS

As a victim of domestic violence, where my ex ran me over with my own car, then I defended him like a battered woman...where i eventually lost my job, in despair turned to drugs and eventually went to prison...to getting my life back together and having to watch my fiance go through the consequences of false accusations of a dv by his ex-wife...it is an outrage that vindictive, malicious women can abuse the system that is meant to protect true victims of domestic violence.REPORT COMMENTS

False allegations of abuse is an injustice. False allegations of abuse is leverage in destroying families. False allegations of abuse grossly inflates all stats and claims proposed by the Violence Against Women Act. For it is documented well over seventy percent of all restraining orders, and domestic violence claims are proven completely false, and/or unfounded. Violence Against Women Act grossly violates Civil Rights Amendment of equal protection under the law, and due process of law.REPORT COMMENTS

My brother just had a hearing today that extended a DV protection order placed against him for a full year. Two months ago, he was kicked out of his own home, and could not contact his 3 sons (2, 3, and 7). Even in the protection order itself, his soon-to-be ex-wife wrote that my brother never abused or threatened to abuse her or their three children. All she has to say is that she -feels- threatened. He was only granted limited, supervised visits. She also said that my brother's family cannot see the kids either. I still can't wrap my mind around how absurd this is. Three children are being kept from a caring and loving father, when he has done nothing wrong. I can't even imagine how damaging this is to them.REPORT COMMENTS

I am an immigrant became citizen recently. I made some research about abusing this law by foreign women. I am a victim of false allegations by my 2 years wife immegrated to US from same country. Due to her mood swing, one day she left our one year old baby behind and had no contact to anybody. On the second day, I was advised by her friend to report her missing. So, I did on the third day. Next thing I know, on the 7th day, I was served by the county shrif temporary order for protection she filed against me. She accused me pulling her hair, spiting on her face, hitting, and soforth. Non of these didn't happen and the rest very rediclus. I am now separated from my daughter which her mom never cares. I am now waiting for the hearing day. I am realy concerned about my 1 year old daughter well being, if not now, in the near future for her mother's mental unstability I have wittnessed during these two years marriage.REPORT COMMENTS

This is currently happening to my ex-husband and the criminal responsible for these false accusations has seized the home that I still retain half ownership of!!! This woman is now using the house to deal drugs and there is nothing that we can do. When my son tried to get HIS belongings from the home, she was allowed to threaten to harm him and the police would only allow him to take from the home what SHE permitted. I work for the courts and am a law student yet I still can do nothing. This woman has done this four times before. While we definitely need to protect victims of domestic violence, we also need to protect innocent people.REPORT COMMENTS

I am a victim of False Allegations of Mental and Physical Abuse, I have witnesses on the day that these allegations were supposed to have been committed. Fear was also used as a weapon against me. The funny thing about it was the day that she alleges it happened she gave me a hug and a kiss with a tear in her eyes. We need to make it so that these allegations can't be made without having evidence to show for it. Unfortunatly for me, she was able to make these statements and get an Order For protection for herself and our two children. She was urged to make these allegations of Domestic Violence be a Womans Help Group of some kind. Her laywer also helped her and did not make sure that there was any evidence of any kind. She also took our children from school (they did not finish the school year), She abandonded me and her good paying job, and left me with no money at all. There is much more to this story but no need to carry on about it. Lets stop this kind of injustice from happening, please. Thank you, David.REPORT COMMENTS

This sounds chillingly like what I have and am going through. I pray that this country Wake up and realize that we are letting families be torn apart and actually having the police arrest even when the man calls and the woman brags to others of her crime. My girlfriend of 14 years did this to me in Colville and that was on 11/12/07. A witness even gave an audio statement with supporting phone records, in regards to her admission of filing the false charges just to get me put in jail. I have a 13 year old daughter who will turn 14 on Fathers day and will not speak to me. I have proclaimed my innocence and they know that I have not touched Elizabeth Crum. The officers refused to take pictures of my hands at the seen. After my charges were dropped from the fact I challenged them and demanded the officers presence at my trial. The prosecutor said that it would cost to much money but yet they hung it over my head till January 6th,2009. Then after I went back to the home while she was at work I saw that all I owned was a loss and my vehicles stripped at will by her boyfriend. The police again refused my pleas and no charges for any wrong doing or Malicious Mischief placed on her. Instead she requested another order and included my baby. They also refused my evidence to support that she was lying about every thing in her petition and reveiled a photo that had not been part of discovery in my DV arrest. yet was used in her new protection order request. Now she has been granted a new year to rule over all I earned in my 42 years of many skills and trades. Tools, cars, personal effects all under her discretion and with out a single responsibility to any of it. When will these horrible crimes be punished and how many more horror stories have to happen before some kind of order comes.REPORT COMMENTS

I am currently being falsely accused of domestic violence and child abuse by an angry x-wife in Washington State. She has brought the same charges against me twice now. The first time the jusdge told her that what she was doing was disturbing and ordered her to pay my legal fees. One year later i am in court again with the same false accusations and a bunch of new ones from the far past that apparently she neglected to bring up the first time. When we were married (over 3 years ago) "he has threatened to kill me" "he has pointed a gun at me" "i have woken up with a gun pionted at me", really...if those things were true why didn't she bring them up the first time. None of her alletations even make sense and it is very easy for anyone to see that these are false allegations. She finally got the case brought in front of a commissioner here in WA that is totally biased named Meg Sassaman who is very active in womans rights in regard to domestic voilence. I don't think that is a bad thing unless it effects your ability to make an unbiased decision. (Please look her up) I sat in court waiting for my turn and watched this commissioner approve every single protection order in front of her. (14 of them i think) Most were very weak cases. There was one case where the accused wasn't present and she asked for proof that the accused man had been notified of this hearing, the woman said "no, i think it is at home" Meg Sassaman said "i am going to grant this protection order but if this man shows up to defend himself IT WILL be overturned." What the hell?REPORT COMMENTS

Sometimes even paid attorneys are indifferent and simply use these ill inacted laws to make money. The bottom line is these cases should be investigated like any other crime. We taxpayers would rather our money go to investigating these claims than than paying for people to be falsely imprisoned or for public defenders who are anything but. It would also do to remind the prosecutors in these cases that it is not their job to convict, but to see that justice is done. I recently witnessed the arrest of my friend who, while standing on the corner waiting for me to pick him up, got arrested because he fit the description of someone who had just tried to grab a 14 year old. There was a hearing, the witness couldn't be sure it was him and had no other witnesses. He had witnesses who were with him at the time it occurred whose names and numbers were given to the attorney he had to borrow money to pay but the attorney didn't even speak to them. At the hearing the magistrate said the state didn't prove their case but continued it for 90 days anyway! He is still waiting for resolution. I sat in on the hearing and could not have been more appalled! No investigation was ever conducted to date and when I tried to get the local paper to report it I was told they only report what the police give them! Obviously because of the way the laws are written, no one on the taxpayer payroll has to do their job. Who speaks for those falsely accused? Please put some common sense back into the law!REPORT COMMENTS
