He admitted to putting his hands on me & also can i give The courts the pictures of my injuries so they can use it against him in his court case ? Also how can I get full custody of our son
A: It's possible he could serve jail time, but it depends on what his criminal defense lawyer negotiates with the district attorney. You may want to call the district attorney's office to let them know you are a cooperative witness and your desire for punishment, etc. You may need to file for a domestic violence restraining order and also ask for child custody and visitation orders. You may also want to file a paternity case. More facts are required to provide a thorough analysis.
