My boyfriend is facing felony charges for assault with a deadly weapon. He was defending himself and as well as me when the father of my child made serious threats towards. My boyfriend drew a gun but never pointed it. Can this be lessened to a misdermeanor?? What do you think will happen??

You need a lawyer. Depends what the threat was. If it was verbal then you can not claim self defense.

Well, it should not be a misdeaanor either, but rather a commendation for doing the right thing, if what you say is as exactly as you described it.
Unfortunately, because of the liberals, defending one's self is now a crime and police in some liberal-infested areas often violate people's Constitutional rights.
That being said, I'm not convinced that butter would not melt in any of your mouths, and this sounds like another typical broken home/boyfriend situation.

The father of your child used words. Your bf grabbed a gun! Do you not see a problem with this?!?!
Your bf deserves the felony charges. You grab your gun only to save your life. This means death is imminent and you are protecting yourself.
Some guy saying, "I'm going to smack you silly," does not constitute imminent danger requiring a response with a firearm.

In my opinion, at most he should receive a charge for Brandishing a Firearm, which is a misdemeanor. Who said it was a felony. Is there more you did not put in your question? Email me with more details and I might be able to shed more light.

1. file assault and/or threat charges against your ex
2. b/friend plead not guilty - get a lawyer - self-defense
3. YOU file for a Protective Order against ex
4. YOU go to paternity and get ex's visitation restricted, terminated, or switched to a neutral site, so these confrontations do not re-occur
5. b/friend gets a Restraining Order against your ex

He should plead not guilty to all charges. Self defense, and defending you are grounds to use deadly force.

Time to get a lawyer.
Remember: Always ask your lawyer for his or qualifications. Never take a lawyer based solely on advertising.

It could be ruled self-defense, and if you file charges against the other guy he might drop the ones against your b/f.
