What is the name of your state? cALIFORNIA
I am in desperate need of some type of advice.
My husband was not the most upstanding citizen before we met in 1996... He had just gotten out of jail for a DUI offense (his 5th in 4 years). He cleaned up his act when we got married and we live a straight lifestyle. He doesn't drink or drive anymore and we have spent years and thousands of dollars to get him legal so he could gt his license back. We thought we had finally made it when he went to take his liscence test and they told him there was a hold on his license for a DUI from 01-28-95. He had to take care of that first, so he made a court date and they wanted to take him to jail!!! 10 1/2 yrs of a spotless record! They released him on an O.R. and scheduled a new court date for July 13 2005. The judge told him he has a choice of $3000 and 45 days in jail, or 52 weekends of workproject (2 yrs) or he can contest it. What do we do, he knows he violated the law, but we are about to have a baby any day now, and I will not be able to make the mortgage and everything on my own if he goes to jail. And he will risk losing his job. We had the DMV give us a printout and we talked to both courts about 4 years ago and had a list of everything, this wasn't ther.. How did it pop back up after 10 years??? Someone help please. I just don't know what to do. He needs to get licesnsed before the baby comes.
