Well, without knowing much more info I can only give you a very general answer.
Lets say the judge imposes a sentence of 8 months on charge 1 and 10 months on charge 2. The judge can set up the sentence to be served "concurrently" or "consecutively".
Concurrently means both sentences would be served at the same time. This means your husband would be out in 10 months.
Consecutively means the sentences would be served one after the other. This means your husband would be out in 18 months.
You said he's already been in jail for 6 months. That would normally be deducted for whatever sentence is imposed.
The judge could also decide that the six months already served is enough and release your husband now.
Hope this helps.

If one charge they are only going to pursue 2-8 months, and the other they are only going to pursue 4-10, he more than likely will get credit time served.
The most they are trying to throw at him is the ten months. If he gets time for the other charge as well, they will more than likely run it concurrent (running the time together at the same time), unless the judge really believes in people doing thier time. In that case, if they run it stacked then he will have to do the 10 months, then the 8 months. But he gets credit for how long he has been locked up for so far.

a quick addition tells us that the maximum amount of time he can serve is 18months. therefore we can assume that he will be there no more than 12 more months, since he will be sentenced to time served plus X months.. not wanting to get personal but what the heck was he thinking. if he was already on probation and has a child with another on the way why on earth would he do anything to get himdself put in prison. He needs to start thinking more and getting his butt on the straight and narrow before he gets classified as a repeat offender.

If he was set to answer to the charges and got those sentences, the amount of time he has left to serve depends on whether he is serving them concurrently(together) or consecutively(one after the other). If he is concurrently then he has about 6-8 months left, but if it is consecutive, then it might not be for 10-12months. It also will depend on what actual crimes he committed(Were they felonies, misdemeanors, etc...), if he is being considered for early release for good time, if they give him time served from one charge and apply it to the other, and if he would take a probation release after he serves at least half of his sentence.

From the numbers you provided he can serve 6 to 18 months.
Whenever he finally gets into court, they will count the time he has waited to get into court.
In many localities, there is serious overcrowding in the jails. So they provide time off for good behavior.
The fact that he violated his probation is NOT GOOD. It means they will think if they let him out early - he will violate PROBATION again. He needs to be on his BEST BEHAVIOR while awaiting his hearing. If he does, he may get out early. If he doesn't he will serve the full (18 months?) time.

I dont know but I would say you will probably have the baby with out him being there. He sounds lik a wonderful person----that's why he is spending time in jail--------a GREAT place for a small CHILD to see his/her father-or any relative.

It depends on why he is in trouble in the first place. It also depends on the judge. Here is a question for you....If he is in jail and has been there for 6 mo. how long have you been pregnant? is that why you are worried about when he is getting out?

Being in prison myself for 20 months, anything can happen. Good luck to you and yours.
