I know about law. in a case of domestic abuse where no marks exist, only a ripped t-shirt (easily fabricated) and if the victim recants his her statement, the case is not win-able. In the case of a recant, you essentially have a victimless crime (ie no crime). Even if here husband doesn't recant,Before this even goes to trial, she will probably be offered a plea to a lessor charge because of the history of her husband. However, her husbands history of DOMV can't be all that bad because he just went through USCIS to petition her to come here. If she has no money for a good attorney, she should take the lessor charge especially if it comes out of the rhealm of DOMV. guilty to some misdeamenors is easily expunged. guilty of a DOMV felony is very difficult to expunge and you can't hardly get a job.

Tomika81 you said "However, her husband history of DOMV can't be all that bad because he just went through USCIS to petition her to come here", your remarks make no sense at all, because abusers pretend to be nice, they can give even expensive gifts to the victims, they have kids with the victims and despite that 3.000 women are murdered by their spouses/partner every year in the USA. Don't be fooled by the abusers nice gestures or display of empathy.Her husband is not less dangerous just because he sponsored her.

If you want to advise someone about domestic violence I urge you ti inform yourself better about DV, and PLEASE do not offer to someone about the best course of action to take in a criminal case if you are not an attorney in the USA, and if you are an attorney in the USA you do not have enough details about her criminal charges to tell her what plea deal she should accept or not.

She hopefully get dropped charges, i know this girl online she is good, i talked to the poster she is looking actually for place to live in, husband call her number, still living with her, they state some evidence he may abused her , in this case I think they are not going to keep the charges, because they can't believe one and not believe the other, somebody told her mostly the case will be dropped, she doesn't know if the decision is already made or it may change in district attorny office or the decision will be taken until court day? Hopefully somebody who understand the law answer this lady

You aren't required to give anybody your social security number but they aren't required to do business with you either. He needs the social security number so he can better find you if you don't pay as promised or if you skip out on the bail.

So what do i have to do, i don't feel comfortable to give it to him because i know i will pay, is this will put me in a legal troubles with the agency?

If it is a legitimate bail bonds person, YOU ARE REQUIRED to give them sensitive information like your social security. Yes, it can be a concern.......

But as far as jail and bailling is concerned. These people are basically loaning money to criminals, and a social security number is used to help assist people in collecting debt. You should be thankful he is willing to work with you on the payments, most are not willing to do that. Most want 10% or more up front before they will help you.

You have seen the TV show "DOG" right? You do not want these people banging on your front door at 3am....I am also pretty certain that if you do refuse to pay the bond-man as promised he will pick your butt up and haul you to jail himself.

I never stop paying this bail bond the boss is the one that i contacted the first time, then there is 2 others different phone numbers one is for the person he filled the papers yesterday and another number for another person he called yesterday while i was on my way to them, i think i should just contact the boss that i recognize his voice and give him what he needs, i'm not woman that i love being in troubles, its just special experience for me, they can get the number and i will pay

[nancy55 6]

I did call and gave my SSN

[nancy55 6]

Please read for comprehension....her husband history of DOMV can't be all that bad because he just went through USCIS to petition her to come here"

If he had a DOMV record it would have shown up in the DOJ search that is done for her petition. Broaded your thinking. I never claimed to be a lawyer. Who told you that I wasn't informed about DV. And all these other people informing her to run off to a homeless shelter.. etc, etc. the more this person posts the more doesn't add up. but when people are caught in their emotions they miss details.

To correct you, the history of my husband with DV was with me , I'm the victim ,

[maghfira 2]

The more and more this person types the more is sounds like a scam.

So you bonded yourself out of jail. Got out, went to the place where your husband lives to see him laying on the sofa relaxing, then went back to the bail bondsman and gave him the information that he would have taken when he bonded you out. You said that you had money in your personal effects which you would have picked up when he bonded you out?...... umhmmm

tomyka81 everybody is understanding perfectly this post, except u, what is going on with u?

[belinda63 3,038]

She has already stated her spouse was arrested for DV last year. They had completed the USCIS process by the time he was arrested.

To advise anyone to take a plea deal without knowing the circumstances is irresponsible. She is an immigrant and certain misdemeanor convictions can adversely affect her immigration status.

At this point in time given her spouse's history of abuse and what she has written about him not caring about her or her situation she needs to leave the home. Please remember she is a new immigrant and doesn't know anything about homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters, her rights, the judicial process, or pretty much anything else we know because we grew up here.

Never stop paying?

-Maybe there is some miscommunication in English.

1. You DO STOP paying when your debt is paid. You should have signed a contract which not only tells you the total amount you are responsible for, but also other important matters such as what happens in the event of an emergency, or if you fail to show up to your court hearing.

2. You should not have more than 1 bail-bond-person. Or if he is giving you multiple numbers, I don't know but do not worry about it too much. Just make sure that you know which telephone number, is your point of contact if you need to call anyone from the bail-bond-office.

Do you understand what "bail" is? Let me explain what I know from my history of being involved with the law:

---First you are arrested, and then if the judge agrees to it. The judge will set a bond for you to get out. Usually the amount the judge sets for you very high. Well, honestly high enough that the every day person cannot afford it. As an example, let's say the judge sets your bond for $20,000USD. This means means you must come up with 20 thousand dollars to get out of jail! Most people cannot afford that so they hire a "bail bondsman". This is a person or company who will pay the full amount for you!! But, it comes with a price....Nobody works for free....

-- That $20,000USD ( as an example) is basically a "collateral insurance" or a "promise" to the United States Government that you will go any court hearings as scheduled.

---A bail bonds person will usually "loan" you the 20 thousand dollars if you a) provide a house as collateral b) provide a vehicle as collateral.......... Sometimes they will loan you the money if you have a steady job....... Other times the bail bonds person simply takes a risk with his own money trusting your good character. More frequently than not, they will require 10% of the total cost up front first. Also they will require personal information and information of everyone you know!!!

---Yes seriously, all this because they want to hunt you down and take you to jail if you fail to show up to court, or if you fail to pay any required amounts. Failure to pay or having bail revoked is pretty serious and will hurt your future chances of securing bail easily ( if you ever need again in the future ).

---And at the end of everything, the bail bonds will still keep the 10% you gave him to loan money to you. That is the price of doing business.
