My question involves criminal law for the state of: Wisconsin

My wife and I were having a verbal argument that turned sort of physical. She hit me first, and I very lightly hit her back. As I went to leave with the keys to the car, she came from behind trying to take them away. I pushed her away and she fell over on something on the floor. I eventually walked out of the house and down the road, where I was picked up and told I was being charged with domestic battery.

My lawyer says that the best he can do/hope for is a year of probation and anger management classes. The DA apparently wants 10 days in jail and a year of probation.

My wife and I are very much over the whole ordeal and want to continue our lives with our kids, but this is putting a strain on us since we (legally) cannot contact each other. I do not remember putting that stipulation on the bail bond ($500 signature) and I was told I was only unable to contact her for 72 hours, not until my bail is waived.

The lawyer said that he will ask for more time in today's hearing since he only got the court materials last week. After that he will talk more with the DA and try to get at least the jail time taken away.

Note: There was no physical evidence taken besides the statements from my wife, her father, and her sister. She did not have any marks on her at all.

However, my lawyer gave this zero chance of getting dismissed because of the other two witnesses. Is it true it would be very hard? What can they do to try to stop this from going on? No one wants this to continue- it was simply a fight that got out of hand.
