What happens if the state motions to prosecute a domestic violence offender after the charges are dropped?

Assuming that you mean the charges were originally taken by the victim and dropped by or at the request of the victim,
Then if the state (in GA at least) motions to prosecute (typically domestics) on behalf of the state, then the charges stand and the victim takes on the role of victim/witness in stead of victim/complainant.
The state can continue to pursue domestic violence charges and prosecution in domestic situations now due to laws adopted after years of battered spouses dropping charges against their abusers because of fear and misguided loyalty.
