In most domestic assault cases, the court issues a no-contact order as a condition of release. This prohibits the defendant from contacting the alleged victim. Violating a no-contact order results in immediate re-arrest and likely bail revocation. Make sure the person you bail out understands the no-contact order before they leave the jail.

What To Expect After Release

After your loved one is released, they must appear at every scheduled court date. Missing a court date results in a warrant and bail forfeiture. Make sure they understand the terms of their release and have a way to get to court.
