I am involved in a pretty vigorous property settlement
I don't have any criminal record of any type , anywhere
However I was recently charged with two crimes of violence, I genuinely believe I just defended myself (intruder into my house)
There are no children with my former marital partner , so it is just a dispute over assets
The other side became aware of the recent charges, and their solicitor mentioned these charges to the Registrar at a recent mention hearing
So my question is , is this ethical or proper ?
