I have a male friend who is facing false domestic violence charges from his ex-wife. She is lying to the court system about the facts involved in certain events. This court particular county have a reputation of discriminating against men and allowing women to lie about their spouses. Who should the behaivior of the court system itself and the involved women be reported to for investigation?

This type of issue is dealt with in teh Superior Court of the sate of Washington. Each county has their own Superior Court offices. This particular county's domestic voilence court allows women to lie without soid proof. The ONLY attorney who would represent a man in a domestic voilence case was sanctioned by this particular court for upholding civil rights and demanding the court do so as well. He voluntairaly pulled his bar lisence from WA and moved to another sate. Should abuse of the system be brought to the attention of the State Attorney General, the State Bar Association, or any other ideas out there?

I would say that he needs to get a lawyer and see if they can help him get depositions from others that know he is not that type of guy. Also if he really did not do anything wrong, he should not take a "guilty" plea of anything. He should fight for his innocence and use all of the tools our system has--do not sign away the preliminary hearing. This is when the state has to show that they even have enough evidence to press charges. Keep fighting, take it to a jury trial (not a bench trial) if need be. Dig up as much dirt on the ex-wife as possible and find her unreliable and untrustworthy. The state will try to make him feel trapped into taking a plea bargain in exchange for a guilty plea. They will make him think that he doesn't have a shot in hell of having a jury finding him innocent, but they just want to scare him away from his rights. Best of luck!!

How do you know she is lying. If you were there and witnessed the incident then maybe you should testify on his behalf. I think we believe what we want to believe. It appears you believe one side of the story without knowing the other side. I'm not trying to offend you but I have worked domestics for over ten years and I have seen the next victim in denial believing it want happen to them. I would take notice and the police or the courts can't convict without evidence even tho there is more pressure to arrest on family violence cases. Be careful because the warning signs might be there. If he is innocent he does need to hire an attorney and prove his innocence. You didn't mention if they had any prior incidents.

Unless the ex has physical proof (police reports, doctor visits confirming abuse, actual bodily injuries, counselor reports), then there is no case. Witnesses aren't good enough in the court of law and a good attorney can get there testimony thrown out if suspected to be here-say or bias (friend or family member of either party).
My ex only used her testimony verses mine (I couldn't afford an attorney for my divorce) for abuse. No physical proof. Of course our testimony differed (there never was any abuse physically as she alleged). The judge of course ruled in her favor and granted the divorce on grounds of extreme cruelty by means of emotional and mental abuse!!!!!! Which is a crock of **** because she had affairs with 4 different men and got pregnant because of it!!!! But the judge didn't look at that.
I'll be the first to admit that the justice system is so corrupted and bias that a man's word don't mean nothing in the court room. My advice is to get all the physical evidence he can to prove she's lying or to defend his innocence and hire a damn good attorney.
Good luck!!!! He's gonna need it!!!!!

The male needs to hire an lawyer. No state will take the woman's word without proof. You can accuse all you want but without proof, nothing will stand.
