Depending on the seriousness of his actions, prior record, and other factors, he may be able to avoid jail time.

He should consult with an attorney about the facts and circumstances of his case.

Various options like you suggest are possible, depending upon the facts and cooperation of the spouses, but the only way they are going to happen is with an attorney. Feel free to contact me if the case is in SoCal courts and he decides to get counsel.
