If you were arrested and charged with DWI within the last 15 days, you need to contact a DWI attorney immediately. The ALR suspension does not take effect until after the expiration of 40 days after the arrest. So, if you are within that window, your privilege to drive is not yet suspended. If you are still inside the 15 day window, your attorney can request an ALR hearing to fight to prevent the suspension. The request will toll the suspension period.

Depends on the facts of the case. Hire a good lawyer. You may be able to get it reduced to a misdemeanor.

First off, I'm sorry this happened to you and your family.  It's always difficult when a familiy member, especially a spouse, gets in legal trouble.  The first and best thing you can do for your wife is find her the best criminal defense lawyer you can.  DWI with Child Passenger is a state jail felony offense, punishable by 6 months to 2 years in the state jail facility, or probation in certain cases.  Hopefully she did not, as you said, 'take a swing' at the officer as that would land her with a 2-10 year indictment ofr assault of a public servant.  Suffice it to say that this case is very serious.  Call a local criminal defense lawyer...this website is a great place to start your search.  Many of us offer free consultations on these types of cases, and can advise you on how best to proceed.  Meet with a few lawyers, then hire the one that you and your wife believe can keep her out of jail.  Hope I helped, good luck!   Cordt Akers Criminal Defense Lawyer, Cogdell Law Firm (713) 426-2244 cordt@cogdell-law.com
