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? |

I feel like i should have some advice on this, as i've seen it happen to numerous people around me, but i have never dealt with the bail process, and thus have nothing to contribute as well.
But, best wishes to his nephew because life must be hitting him hard right now. It'll work out. Always does.

Wait, obligations or conditions? I think I responded with the personal conditions I would have for him if I were to bail him out.

He's been in jail for two weeks.
He has no money. My original question was... "If I post bail what are my obligations?" I want to help my nephew out. |

This is just my opinion mind you. But two weeks for grabbing his wifes arm seems a little excessive.

While I'm no lawyer and I've never had to deal with this personally it's always been my understanding that he has to show up for his court date or you lose the money.

Could be totally wrong about this, but I think you're obligated for more than just what you put up. I was under the understanding that Bond is typically like 10% of the total you'd be responsible for if he absconds.

That very well may be. Maybe one of the CP criminals will chime in and clear it up. There has to be somebody here that has jumped bail before.
