My boyfriend was charged with first degree assault against me. If we get married before his courtdate will it help his case?

Question

Answer

Provided that the marriage is not a sham, then spousal privilege may be invoked one time. If there were another domestic violence charge in the future, then the state may compel your testimony against your husband.
