How long he can stay in jail bc of those charges?
how much will it cost for a lawyer to defend him according to these penalties?
Without knowing more information I would have to defer to the standard answer which is he will probably be doing a stint in jail if convicted because it's mandatory on these charges. I suggest hiring a good lawyer to see what if anything can be done to win or reduce the charge.

Yes it can be done but just like anything else it needs to be properly drafted. I suggest hiring a good lawyer to represent you and if the other party isn't represented make sure they have a lawyer on their side as that is how most of these prenuptial Agreements are invalidated.
I have a civil case court matter coming up and I need help with representation.
