    How to Avoid Going to Jail
    hi everyone i am actually new to this really need some advice to those who will understand my question and have the answers! ahh.
    well i live in california orange county , and i got a dui about 3 years ago! i was put on informal probation. just last year i got a driving on suspended liscence probation violation when i was 8 months pregnant!.
    I went to court for it and got it settled and they asked to to complete cal trans by last week! wich gave me 9 months to do it ! i had my son and he is now 8 months old but was soooo extremely hard to get the cal trans over with . single mom with no help :/. i know it was my mistake to not complete it and i understand that . it was supposed to be completed by last wednesday and that monday i went into to court to make a court date to appear infront of a judge and ask for an extention.(wich i heard/thought i could to). soo i went in today with my son and the judge was soooooo RUDE!!!! TOLD ME HE IS GONNA GIVE ME 20 DAYS IN JAIL AND THAT IT I DIDNT HAVE MY SON HE WOULD HAVE HAD ME ARRESTED!. I CANT DO JAIL TIME I HAVE NO ONE TO WATCH OVER MY SON FOR SUCH A LONG PERIOD OF TIME :(. I DONT WANT TO BE AWAY FROM HIM! :(. SOO HE CONTINUED THE HEARING TO THIS UPCOMING TUESDAY! I GOT A LAWYER AND I AM JUST WONDERING WITH ANYONE WHO HAS CORRECT INFORMATION , IS THERE ANY WAY MY LAWYER WILL BE ABLE TO AT LEAST JUST GET ME HOUSE ARREST INSTEAD OF JAIL TIME??? WITH THE SITUATION I AM IN I DONT THINK I DESERVE JAIL TIME AT ALL AND WITH MY SON AS WEELL.

    PLEASE CAN SOMEONE ADVISE ME ON WHAT I SHOULD EXPECT OUT OF THIS SITUATION. IS THERE HOPE IN IT?? EVEN IF ITS 5 DAYS IN JAIL ILL DO IT BUT 20 IS JUST TO MUCH :(. HOUSE ARREST WOULD BE THE BEST OPTION!


    SOOO ID REALLY APPRECIATE AL THE INPUT . I ASK AROUND AND IT JUST DOESNT SEEM ANYONE CAN GIVE ME GOOD ADVICE.

    THANK YOU SOO MUCH!♥

    actually, doing what you were supposed to do would be the best option. Now that you did not take that option, the judge gets to impose what he wants.

    what can happen?
    anything from an extension to putting you in jail on the spot. What will happen? no way to guess what the judge will do. Your lawyer would be the person to ask. They would be more familiar with the specific judge and could possibly tell you what that judge typically does in similar situations.
