The arrest of someone who lives with you for domestic violence is never an easy situation for anyone involved. These arrests are usually the result of accusations from family or loved ones. Add to that, the fact that they usually happen in the home makes it even more difficult. And if there was a restraining order in force, there will probably be additional charges.

North Carolina Law for Domestic Violence Bail Bonds

Because of the complications and dangers involved in domestic violence, North Carolina treats them differently than other types of bail bonds. This can cause a delay in setting a bond for these types of arrests. With other types of bail bonds, a magistrate will set the bond within a few hours after the person is arrested. This is true regardless of the time of day or night. Just like Alicia’s Bail Bonds, court magistrates are on duty around-the-clock, every day.

But for Domestic Violence arrests North Carolina has a special 48-hour rule. In order for bail to be set before the first 48-hours, a judge must sign-off on it. A judge can decide to release the defendant at any time, even before the 48 hours. If the arrest occurs when the court is closed, and no judge is available, such as on a weekend or a holiday, the defendant must remain in custody. After the 48- hour waiting period, a magistrate is free to set bail.
