my boyfriend got arrested today as he has a suspended license. Went to jail before on this. he is labeled a habitual offender. he had been driving as he owns his own business but he got caught. i am bonding him out in a little while...if i keep him in there overnight...what are the chances he will get out of jail tomorrow? he has shown up to all his court dates in the past just not paid the fee afterwards that they gave him as he paid the bills instead.

If bail is an option, they may let him out on his own recognizance. If it is treated the same as a Violation of Probation, he may have to stay in jail till his court date.
Good Luck to you both. However keep in mind that driving on a suspended license is illegal for a really good reason. Needing to drive for work is not a valid reason. If he had bit the bullet & paid all the fees, he would not have this problem. (Don't tell me he could not afford it as I paid my fine on time & got teh windshield replaced with an under poverty income.) He could have hired a driver for this period or asked friends for rides, or use the bus? I had to do that for 2 months while my car was laid up. I cost me no more than the gas would have cost.

If you bond him out and he doesn't pay fines, you could lose everything. Too many unpaid fines the counts and police frond on this. He is now looking at some long term time. You may not be able to Bond him under these conditions.
You will have to put up your house, car or his business against the bond this time. You willing to lose if he don't pay.
Let him sit in jail and grow up. Being a good husband and father does not make him a good liability.

Has been convicted of it? Spent time in jail not just the city jail. Usually if you're arrested for dws you don't get out unless some one bonds you out or if you go to court and the judge releases you. Why doesn't he just get his hardship license? They are good for a year. Course you can only get them if you hadn't had them in the last 5 years.
And after you've been arrested so many times for this usually the bond goes to cash only instead of letting you use a bondman-depending on what state you're in.

If he is a habitual offender he will be looking at a mandatory sentence. I would not feel comftorable co-signing a bond because if he doesnt want to go to jail your in fault

He must have some cruddy business that he doesn't care about.
Dump the loser, as he claims to have a business yet is evidently not qualified to run it (i.e., no license) and doesn't fulfill his obligations.

You will probably have to bond him out. Especially since he never pays them.

Bond him out so you do not have to worry about him saying that you do not love him!
