There is a significant chance of jail time. You shoudl reconsider your decision whether to hire an attorney. Ask you husbasnd how he will do with the 10 mos old, if you are in jail. Depending upon your previous convictions and the facts of this case, you may be sentenced to some jail time.

Good luck
