My daughter wrote some checks on a closed account. Her husband closed the account and they are divorcing and had no other means to support her children in the mean time. She now has a warrant for her arrest with a bail of $20,000 however, she made a court date to surrender to the judge. My question is that my husband and I can not afford her bail as we are struggling to pay our own mortgage etc. Does the judge usually drop the bail once she shows up to court and release her on her own recogninze or does she go to jail until bail is paid? Any help would be greatly appreciated
She will be required to pay 10 percent of the bail which would be 2,000 dollars in order to stay out of jail. If she can't pay the bail, she will receive whatever jail time the judge recommends. I hope this helps you.
no such thing as an o.r.(own recognizance) release at least not where i live,Indiana.especially for that crime.usually bond is 10% so her bond will be 2000$ to a bondsmen
the own recognizance is something TV shows made up.the judge laughed at me when i asked for it

I work in an OR department and if this is her first offense she may be releasable. I would suggest you look at your local County's phone directory for a Pretrial Services Department (if not available call the clerk's office and ask if they have an OR program) and call to see if they can interview her before she goes to court. If that is not an option then you should attend with her in order to act as references. Any proof that she can provide regarding her community ties would also be beneficial (ie paycheck stub, address verification like a recent bill mailed to her home or a lease agreement). If OR is not a possibility, you can contact a bail agency and have them appear in court with you stating that they are prepared to post the bail immediately. Most courts allow them to post it on the spot (typically in the clerk's office).
