There appears to be two aspects to your case. First is the criminal charges for being under the influence. The second is the CPS case. If you have your child with you, then you need approach the case so that your child is not removed from your home.

Good advice is to have a Bakersfield attorney apply to the court for approval, otherwise you face potential probation violation. I have to assume there were programs and other terms of probation ordered that you have not complied with. Discuss them with your attorney.
