1st offense is a misdemeanor, subsequent offenses are felonies. It can also be filed as a felony if your blood alcohol was .15 or over. DUI's can have a very big negative impact and be very expensive if not handled correctly. Hire a good attorney to navigate the process.

The cannot prosecute you for not testifying. You have to show up if you are subpoenaed, but they can't force you to testify. There is literally a statute that prevents them. You can always tell them that this was a misunderstanding and you do not want to testify.

You should get an attorney and get ahead of this, so he does not move money or attempt to play games. His claim is not accurate and that makes me concerned for his intentions around your marital assets.

If it is within 10 days of your plea, you can file a motion to withdraw your plea. The problem is if you pled guilty versus no contest or Alford you are a bit stuck with the fact that you admitted to something you didn't do. The Court frowns on lying, even when pleading.
