Cupid’s Advice:

Like Duff, you may find yourself caught in the middle of your partner’s allegations. Consider this relationship advice when your partner is in trouble with the law:

1. Listen to your partner’s perspective: Your partner obviously has something to say about his current circumstances. Listen to what he has to say. You are allowed to agree or disagree with his statements, but it is valuable to hear his side of the story.

2. Explain to your family: Do not leave close family members in the dark! Let them know what is happening and what procedures you need to take as a family. If you need a babysitter for a court date, let them know. Having extra hands during a time of trouble is necessary.
