A: Depends on the underlying charge for the domestic violence, is it stalking assault harassment etc..? All carry possibility of jail but some more serious than others.
A: Best way to stay out of jail is to hire a lawyer. Any 2C charge carries the possibility of jail and some more time than others. We would need to know the exact charge he has to tell what and how much jail he is facing.
