What if you do not want to press charges any longer?
just let the police know. Answer Go to the particular police that charges were filed with and tell them that you would like to drop the charges. If the person has other offenses, sometimes the police will not drop the charges even though you want to...such as assault, domestic violence, etc. They can take over at some point and it will not matter if you wish to drop charges. If it is an isolated incident, usually they will drop the charges at your request. It depends on the situation, the police agency.

How do you dropp a domestic violence case?
by refusing to press charges with the district attorney and police. sometimes though, more usually than not, the district attorney will use the information gathered from the initial police report and prosecute the offender anyways if he or she feels they can get the conviction from that report alone. At that point, it doesn't matter if you still wish to press charges or not. Good luck

How long do you have to file domestic violence charges in Oklahoma if you have witnesses and photographs of the incident?
You should file those charges immediately. If you wait, the court will wonder why you waited if the situation was serious enough to file charges. You will not be taken seriously if you continue to live with or spend time with the abuser before filing charges. You should have filed a police report immediately and the police would have taken photos. It is puzzling that you would want to wait to press charges. The longer you wait the less attention you will get.
