Stockton, CA asked in Domestic Violence and Family Law for California

Q: I was a victim of dv I called the police he left but I didn't know he was outside waiting for the police to tell them I

attacked him to keep our 3 month old baby. We have gotten into arguments before and just threatened to hit me. that day he came over picking a fight and he did hit me I fought to defend myself he bit me twice and pulled out a lot of my hair

I think i bit him to. he convinced the officer I was drunk because of my history of dui"s and because I was on probation but was doing good not drinking . he said he was not drunk so I got arrested. he's a good talker liar, he was about to drive off with the baby until my mom asked " your not going to let him drive off are you he's drunk" they tested him he failed, but still took the baby . he promises to bring me the baby then doesn't. he says if I don't take him back he's keeping her. I don't know who's taking care of her people see him but always alone. I'm so worried praying she's being taken good care of. I miss her so much . can you tell me what i can do he tells me because of my record for dui i wont get her back please help me
