There was no abuse or anything in the relationship, she got upset at him and kicked him out and said he wasn’t allowed any contact with the child at all.
Yes she can. Visitation and custody does not determine child support though overnight stays do go into the calculation for the presumed amounts.

The statue of limitations for a misdemeanor is one year. However it doesn't run once a charge has been filed so it doesn't apply in your wife's situation. Your wife needs a lawyer as there maybe other things that can be done.
There is not enough information in your question to even hazard a guess. All cases are different and it would need to be reviewed by an experienced federal criminal defense attorney.
Dont mean to waste your time, cause we don't need representation, I am asking for a young girl I know that has had a very sad life and I told her that I would try to find out, if there was anything we could do to keep her from going to jail for 10 days. She has shoplifting charges.

To give an educated answer would require a through review of the case against you, your criminal history, and a discussion with you. In other words this is a question you need to ask your criminal defense attorney after thoroughly discussing the case with them.
I just don’t really trust law enforcement very much
Specially in these days and times
You absolutely do not have to speak to them. You have the right to remain silent. If the police seek to speak to you might invoke your right to remain silent by saying the magic words. "I want a lawyer." Then shut up do not discuss anything as anything you say to them will be used against you.
