Not if your case is still pending. If you've been cleared of charges, then yes.
It means that charges are dropped by a Grand Jury and the persons record is cleared.
If charges are dismissed, it means that the legal case against the individual has been dropped and they are no longer facing criminal prosecution for those specific charges. This can have a positive impact on the individual's legal status as they are no longer considered a defendant in that particular case. It does not necessarily mean that the individual is completely cleared of any wrongdoing, but it does remove the immediate threat of legal consequences related to those specific charges.
yes you can
The police or the victim are the only people who can press charges in an assault case.

If you are referring to Richard Jewel who was accused during the Olympic bombings - then he went on to be a deputy after being cleared of the charges. CNN settled outside of court for damaging his name but the AJC continued to fight the case; he died about a year ago with the AJC court case never settled. I hope this answers your question.
Yes, a victim can request to drop charges in a criminal case, but ultimately it is up to the prosecutor to decide whether to proceed with the case.

"Case nolle" typically refers to "nolle prosequi," a legal term indicating that the prosecutor has decided to discontinue or dismiss certain charges in a case. When a case is entered as nolle prosequi, it generally means that the charges are dropped, but it may not apply to all charges if multiple charges exist. The specific implications can vary based on the jurisdiction and the circumstances of the case. It's important to consult legal counsel for specific interpretations.
This can get a little dicey. While CPS investigations are not criminal prosecutions, they can turn into them. The investigation itself is not the issue. What you need to be aware of is whether during the investigation a court order was obtained to prevent you from removing the children from the jurisdiction. If there was and you did, you have a problem. Likewise, if you have charges filed against you, and you move to another state with the children, you could be facing additional charges of Fleeing and Eluding, Fleeing Prosecution, and potentially Kidnapping (which makes it a federal case and then you might be facing Avoiding Prosecution charges). Your best bet is to contact a very competant Family Law Attorney in the state you left, and hire him to make certain the CPS investigation is cleared. Keep in mind, that the case is not cleared until you have in your hot little hand paperwork that says the case is cleared. Take no one's word for anything related to potential criminal charges or the security of your children. It might be important and prudent to note too that if the investigation was motivated by very real danger to your children, your best bet is to go back and face the music. If the first state or the FBI is forced to hunt you down, you will not be helping your case, and moving will not be a solution to the original problem. Fix what is broken, and running is not a way to fix it.
