Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

My son was arrested for domestic abuse and charged with a felony. His wife was having their baby in the hospital and the

doctor saw her bruises so called the police. It is his first offense.

His bail on paper is $50,000 and he has his first arraignment in 2 days.

. He is currently in jail.

Should I wait until Tuesday to see if the bail can be reduced before I spend my retirement savings.
