It’s possible for cases to be filed during contested divorce proceedings.
My wife and I have been separated since October 2023. In February 2024, she made a false domestic violence allegation against me at the nearby police station. The police investigated this claim and found it to be unsubstantiated.
I then filed for divorce in June 2024. During court-ordered mediation, her lawyer expressed willingness to proceed with the divorce if we agreed to her alimony demands. We proposed an amount, which they rejected.
Subsequently, my wife filed another domestic violence case, this time targeting me and my family. We have been ordered to appear before the Protection Officer on April 8th.
