How to Tell Your Child About Their Parent’s Arrest

If you thought getting the phone call learning that your significant other was arrested was hard, imagine the moment you realize you need to figure out how to explain this to your young child. They are certainly going to notice if Mom or Dad is missing for a few hours or a couple days.

You will need to consider their age and how much they may understand. You may need to sugar coat the situation, you may not. It is ultimately up to your discretion.

What you can and will do is help bail your partner out of jail as fast as possible so that their time away from home and the family is as minimal as possible. We cannot do anything until your loved one has been arraigned, that is when bail is determined, but the moment you have all the information, contact Apple Valley Bail Bonds, and we will work on a custom payment plan. Once paperwork is done and signed, it will be sent to the jail and processed. Your loved one can be released and back home within a few hours. With our help, we hope your child actually will not notice that anything is wrong.

Apple Valley Bail Bonds can be reached 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, online and at 760-247-4444.

What Not to do When You Are Getting a Bail Bond

When you apply for a bail bond, you want to make sure that all the information you have is 100% correct and accurate. You want to have all of this information ready. If something is missing or you have the wrong info, it can prolong the bail bond process, or it can jeopardize your freedom if the mistake is caught after you have been released. Here is what not to do when you are getting a bail bond:

• Do not provide incorrect contact information for yourself.
• Do not providing incorrect contact information for your co-signer.
• Do not travel while out on bail without notifying the bail bond company and court first. Make sure you are actually allowed to travel while out on bail.
• Do not get arrested, while out on bail.
• Do not treat your co-signer poorly or lose their respect/ trust. They can withdraw their name from your bail bond at any time, and if so, you will be taken back into custody.
• Do not violate any court-mandated curfews, restraining orders, or travel limitations. Additionally, do not miss any court-mandated treatment or rehab programs, or volunteer activity.
• Do not skipping bail and court.

The rules for your bail bond are simple. Your Apple Valley Bail Bonds bail agent will help keep you on track so that this whole situation can be dealt with as quickly as possible. In addition, make sure to surround yourself with positive, supportive family members and friends.

We Cannot Lower Bail but We Can Bail You Out Affordably

It is not often that a judge will reduce a person’s bail after setting it. The judge is the only person who can lower bail; not even a lawyer can lower a defendant’s bail. Although it is rare for bail to be reduced, it does happen. This was the case recently in a matter involving the police shooting of a Bay Area man. The man’s original bail was set at $2 million, but was later lowered to $105 thousand after the judge reviewed body camera footage, revealing more truths and facts than were originally reported.

Because the majority of defendants will not be able to get their bail lowered, the best situation for them is to post bail using a bail bond from Apple Valley Bail Bonds. This allows the defendant to pay for only 10% of the full bail amount over a set amount of weeks or months. This flexibility provides financial relief for the defendant and his or her loved ones.
