Would you go and pursue a lawsuit against your spouse who wrongfully got you arrested?

your spouse got you arrested by saying you assaulted him, pulled hair, scratched arm, and grabbed arm. then later recaints the story in court, says it didn't happen, and that their language barrier (they speak another language) was a result of the police misunderstanding some things they've said in the police report and it was a big misunderstanding, and the scratches came from pushing a door back and forth leading to an argument.

the charges are still up and pending, and to be quite honest, when I was in the house there were no scratches or anything until I was locked out of my house for 45 minutes till the police came as my sister called the police hearing him name call me over the phone and the scuffle between us. I believe given I was outside for 45 minutes that he self inflicted the scratches. He has a lot of stories, first told the police one story, than found out I was arrested told another story, but they still took me in for 2 days on domestic violence simple assault charges.

For the past 60 days I've been the one in a domestic violence shelter getting treatment not him, and I told the therapist there about all of the emotional, psychological words he's said to me the verbal, a few times he's pushed me, etc. etc. I was going to use a letter I got from the shelter for domestic violence to bring it to court about how I was in a shelter for abuse.

I don't know how the court case will go, given he admitted to the prosecutor he has emotional and anger problems, in a victim's statement, and that he needs counseling.

I am 9 months pregnant and court is next month for me about all of this, if the charges do get dismissed with lack of evidence and conflicting evidence, and he goes to counseling I was thinking about suing him for emotional stress and trauma as I've been pregnant dealing with all of this, and then in the shelter it was hard for me to move around, the stress of the case, I'm not a violent person, no record of criminal offense not even a speeding ticket.

That was a negligent action on his side. But it doesn't mean you have to take revenge. If you can still work on your relationship then do so. But if your thinking of filing a case what do you think can it give you?
