When charges are dropped then you are free to go
If your spouse is guilty of forgery then of course charges can be brought against them
Sometimes charges can be dropped against someone even after an affidavit has been signed. It will really depend on the charges and city and state.
YOU cannot have the charges dropped by yourself. Such an assault is a crime against the state and only the prosecutor can 'drop' the charges. If you are a reluctant 'complaining witness' speak to the prosecutor about your hesitation to go forward.
yesIn most states if an officer is dispatched to a domestic call and there is evidence that an assault took place then they are required to make an arrest. The police do not press charges and neither does the spouse. The prosecutor presses charges.
When charges are dismissed, it means that the legal case against a person has been dropped and they are no longer facing criminal prosecution for those specific charges.
false charges
No. The Fifth amendment applies to giving testimony against yourself. Since the charges against you were dropped, you have no protection against self-incrimination. You are now simply a witness to the events in or at the bar and can be forced to testify.
If the spouses name isn't on the account, it's illegal. If the spouse signed your name, it's forgery.
Most likely not. Some cases are "dismissed with leave" meaning upon locating you again in the USA, the charges will be "resurrected" and you must answer them, misdemeanors or felonies.
