What are your obligations if you post bail for a family member?
My nephew is going through a nasty divorce. She has the house, kids, money (of course) and he's in jail for "battery" since he grabbed her arm. Her attorney imposed a protection order at the start and they're taking it to the hilt. My nephew wouldn't hurt a fly but he's stuck with no money and misses his kids every day.

If I post bail what are my obligations?

A "bail bond" is retaining a third-party who will put up the full amount for you in exchange for a fee (such as your 10% example) plus some sort of collateral (like a car). They keep the fee regardless, and if you don't show up, they'll come after the collateral as well.

So, let's say bail is set by the judge at $5,000, Stewie could fork over the entire $5k, and assuming his nephew doesn't run, he'll get his entire $5k back. Alternatively, he could retain a bondsman, pay $500 and offer up a car as collateral. Assuming his nephew shows up, Stewie is then out the $500, but that's it.

But definitely look into this in detail before making any final decisions. I THINK I'm on the right track but could be wrong.


I am **NOT** a criminal law attorney, but this is my understanding as well.

Stewie, stop being a dumb**** and call a bondsman.

DaFace is on the right track. But call a bondsman, instead of listening to "well, I knew a guy once", anectodal stories.

To me this is like loaning a friend money. Evaluate it like a gift and don't expect to get it back. Then you won't be disappointed or the relationship changed if you never see it again.

As angelic of a person as you may consider him to be, he is dead broke and sitting in a jail cell. Not exactly a low-risk borrower.

I would say if you post bail, you have the obligation to stop him from making this worse.

He needs to keep his head out of his ass and stay away from everyone that can put him back into jail.

Then, he is now your indentured servant until he gets back on his feet.

Why cant you loan him the money and let him get his own bail bondsman, that way you are not on the hook?
