hey.
does anyone here know anything about revoking the bail bond of someone whose bond you co-signed and co-paid on? a couple of months ago i helped bail out the husband of a very beloved friend of mine. had i know that there was a history of physical abuse i would not have helped bail him out at all, but after he was released he told me to revoke his bond if he ever hit or hurt again. well i just found out that all of his talk about 'how much better' he is becoming and how much he is 'improving' has all been total bullshit, and that he actually assaulted her about two weeks ago and gave her whiplash and everything. which i should have expected from a misogynistic and manipulative narcissist who behaves more like a pimp than a husband.
who knows what i was thinking. i guess i kept hoping that he really was improving and that my friend would eventually be happy with him. obviously i was wrong and i am glad that i learned this before any more harm came to her, and fortunately she is finally realizing that he needs to be gone.
she and i have talked about revoking his bond a little bit but she always gets cold feet about leaving him once her anger over this argument or that argument cools down. so i promised her that i would be the one to revoke the bond, that i would be the one to accept any anger from doing so, and that i would even if she changed her mind and wanted to stay with him. she was appreciative of that promise and continues to be. not only is not a good situation for her but he DID make me promise, and i AM a woman of my word.
so my question is this: does anyone have experience with revoking bail? and if so, how long does it usually take for someone to be picked up and returned to jail? i tried to get a straight answer of the bail lady but she was really kind of super vague about it, and i need to know how much time my friend needs to be out of the apartment for and all of that.
so yeah. any experience with this?
