Early this year, my partner assaulted me. I disproved his lie that I was drunk by demanding police breath test me (to try to get them to see he was lying, obviously I wouldn't have done this if I wasn't 100% factual). I then had to disprove his statement that I was an overnight guest where, in fact, I had been living with him for 6 months, and once I proved this a week later police accepted the status of a significant relationship and charged him.
A month later, he went and did a statement lying again saying I assaulted him first and police charged me. Devastated isn't a word that covers this. I gather this is going to be his line of defence, that I assaulted him first hence he punched me, as no one can deny my injuries. This is the brief background information.
My question is: I was charged under my prior married name that I have retained since divorce before meeting this new RN partner. I have used this married surname for 23 years. My bail notice is in my married name.
When I went to court over his false charges, I am not listed under my married name but my maiden name that I haven't used for 23 years. I have no idea how this has happened as I don't refer to myself via maiden name.
How has this happened?
How am I being called to court via a name I don't use, and this name not on charges/bail summary? Can this technicality throw it out?
I'm hating fighting his lies. It's worse than his assault.
