if my bf skipped his bond, is he considered a fugitive?

Excuse me... did you say bf or ex-bf? Believe me, he is a fugitive and you allowing him to be with you is illegal, in any state. The best thing for you to do is sever your contact and pray that they don't charge you.

The problem here is that he lives in your place. It dont matter if it is in your name or not he lives there. When i was served with a warrant at my sisters house it did not matter that i wasnt on the lease what mattered was what was in the house. All 4 of us went to jail even tho my sister and brother in law knew nothing about what was there. Im not sure if this helps you but I thought I would share my experiance. I think you gave yourself the best advice, "get an attorney A.S.A.P."

I would'nt go see him. His behavior proves that he's not truly the man you see on the outside. People like this are good at putting on the mask that'll work to get them what they want out of you. I'm sad to have to say it, but it's the truth.  Especially if he's locked up, you'll become an outlet for his manipulative personality. Don't give him the satisfaction of knowing you're wrestling with feelings for him. It'll only stroke his ego. Winning him back would only result in an unhealthy co-dependant relationshiip. This type of user psychology need to be desired and needed by others to floati it's ego. You'd likely convince yourself that you DO need him. And you don't honestly. Being happy with yourself is critical before one can be truly happy with another.

They are paid a percentage of the bail when that capture the defendant that jumped bail, such as "Failure to Appear" for a Court hearing. If the defendant is released on a Bond of $10,000.00, the Bondsman post 10%. When the defendant fails to appear, the bond is revoked, an Arrest Warrant is issued by the Judge. The Bondsman tracks down the Bail Jumper and takes that person into custody, turning them over to law enforcement. The bail is then rescinded and the defendant goes to jail to await trial.

You can "motion" the court for a hearing for a bond reduction.  It will be up to the judge to grant that motion (request).

Yes, you can be at the bond hearing and protest. Do not be afraid to go there and tell your story, they will listen and probally not let his bond become reduced.  If you do nothing,  there is a chance he will get a reduction. You do not need a lawyer to do this.....just stand up and be counted.

It's a probation hold warrant, not a regular warrant. They do not have to give her bail (bond). Keep in mind, she is out on probation in lieu of being in jail on her original offense. She could be fully violated and have to serve the rest of her original sentence.\n\nWhether or not someone poses a "threat" to someone else has no bearing on placing a hold on her. It has to do with meeting the requirements of her probation. (I beg to differ about a meth addict not being a threat to anyone. The rage I've seen some of them get in is scary.)\n\nI imagine she has failed to perform some requirement of her probation (like failing to go to rehab) or committed some new crimes while on probation.

Sounds like they were looking for a felon on parole. In that case, if he gave your address as his own, they can come in a nd "inspect" pretty much anytime they like. No warrant needed.\n\nCool being involved with a convict huh? Suggest you stay away from the bad boy types if you don't want to become familiar with local law enforcement...........

You should be able to move out provided your probation officer considers it a suitable environment.  If the court set the conditions of probation to be no contact with your boyfriend then you can not have contact with your boyfriend without risk of violating your probation.  When you violate your probation by being with him not only are you risking getting yourself in more trouble but you are putting your boyfriend at risk for getting into toruble because he is violating the restraining order.  There must be some reason your family and the court don't want you with this guy.  I am just wondering what it is that they see that you are not able to see.  Believe it or not they probably just want whats best for you.  Sometimes when we are young and in love we are blind to the harm a destructive relationship is causing in our own lives.

It is my understanding (in my state at least) the bail  is refundable only if you pay 100% of it.  If you pay a bondsman his 10% or however much, that is not refundable.  The percentage is considered his fee for guaranteeing that you will appear in court after bonded out.
1150753
yes because you signed a contract to pay. if you dont you go off bond and go back to jail. and you will have to bond out all over again

If he paid a bail bondsman, no that money is never returned.  The bondsman charges about 10 percent of the bond as his fee.  if the bond is 100,000, you will have to pay him 10,000 dollars and he keeps that money as his fee.\n\nIf you paid the court directly the 100,000 or put up your house, then you get it back from them.

LMAO at the previous answer!\n\nSeriously, if you are into a mess like that, I think you should get your stoned butt off the computer and on the the phone with a lawyer and on the phone with a rehab place or something.  \n\nBut in regards to your boyfriend, honey I am sure you can do a lot better with someone that WON'T have a criminal record and doesn't do that crap.\n\n\n*I mean YOU as a general term.

Yes, the several things are in the wrong order.A few steps left out (initial appearance, bond forfeiture hearing, initial pre-trial conference, etc).  If this is your lawyer's flow chart you are in big trouble.

last time i checked he still has the right to a court appt attorney..until then if you can"t make bail or get a bondsmen then i guess he will have to tough it till his court date.....if he hates it that bad..then maybe he won't make the same mistake again when choosing a girl. We all have our lessons to learn, some get the rough end for seemingly no reason sometimes..but this is life and you can't always come to their rescue.....even when sometimes you feel you need to...grown up problems come with grown up consequences that are sometimes hard to fix. Sorry

If you are out on a bond and miss a court date then the court has a BOND FORFEITURE HEARING.  That is when the judge determines if the defendant had good cause for missing court. \n\nThe Bail Bond Company must surrender the defendant back into custody prior to the hearing in order to prevent the bond being forfeited. \n\nAs for being released again, it is up to the judge the case was in to provide for a bail or not.  Sometimes it is automatically denied until the defendant appears before the judge again. \n\nAnyway you look at it, they should have just went to court.  These things just don't go away.

not really. because you chose to ignore the warrant, the SOL is stayed.  however if you never go back to california it will never be a problem.  i think Cal. is not a member of the Uniform traffic system which reports one state's violations to your home state.  otherwise call up the court and see
