Most people get married when they are adults and are more financially stable. However, there are some people who get married at a younger age, like when they are in college or in their mid-twenties. There are even people who choose to get married when they are in high school, or younger! As shocking as it can be to imagine yourself being married at such a young age, it is not illegal in California.

Most states have a minimum age requirement to get hitched, but California does not. Anyone in California can get married at any age, although anyone under the age of 18 would need to:

• Get parental consent
• Get a court order
• See a pre-marriage counselor
• Have copies of their birth certificate
• Apply for a marriage license with a parent present
• Appear before a judge

One of the main reasons California chose not to enforce a minimum age to get married is because it allows pregnant minors to marry, if they so wish. Needing parental and court consent helps regulate the idea of marriage so that no one is being forced or tricked into an unhealthy and abusive marriage. For example, a man cannot force the teen he got pregnant into marriage unless her parents and the court give their consent. If he is also under 18, he would need parental consent as well. Furthermore, a mother cannot force her pregnant teenage daughter to marry the father of the baby if the girl’s father does not consent. There are multiple points of protections in this manner. However, if all parties are happy with their relationships with each other and it is a healthy relationship between the two minors, they can get married as long as their parents and the court give them permission.

Any man or woman who is at least 18 years of age would not need parental consent to get married.

When a person is arrested, they are either eligible to post bail, or they are required to stay in jail. On the surface level, that is as simple as it gets, but understanding bail options is where it gets more complex. There are multiple methods to posting bail and getting out of jail.

• Cash Bail

  In this method, if a defendant is given a $10,000 bail, they will pay $10,000 to the court. Every penny of this must be paid before the jail will release the defendant. This money can be refunded later on as long as the defendant makes good on his or her release terms and conditions, including showing up for their court appointments.

• Bail Bond

  A person can choose to post bail using a bail bond. Instead of paying their $10,000 to the court, they hire a bail bondsman. They pay the bail bondsman 10% of their bail in premium payments. In this case, that would be $1,000. In addition, they work with the bail bondsman on a payment plan. So, this $1,000 is paid off in increments following the release of the defendant. Unlike cash bail, the premium is not refundable. There are also other requirements for bail bonds, like needing a co-signer and pledging collateral. The defendant will still need to oblige by his or her bail release terms and conditions, or they risk losing collateral, being taken back into custody, and paying fines.

• Own Recognizance

  In some instances, the judge will grant a defendant release on own recognizance. This means they do not owe money to the court to be released. Instead, they sign paperwork promising to show up for court and oblige by any other court-mandated instructions. Being granted own recognizance release is reserved for those who essentially have no criminal history, have good ties to the community, and are being charged for a minor offense. In other words, this type of defendant is one who is likely to honor their word.

Only when a defendant is arraigned can they and their family decide the best bail option that fits their needs and situation. If you are ever in the situation of needing a bail bond for yourself or a loved one, feel free to contact Downtown Bail Bond Store to discuss options and get a free consultation.

For the most part, your lawyer will take care of the majority of court preparation over the days and weeks leading up to your court date. However, on the actual day itself, you will need to do a few extra things to prepare and present yourself properly.

Your lawyer will also give you some tips of what to do and what not to do for your court appearance:

• Dress as if you are going to a business meeting or interview and do not overdo the accessories.
• Remove sunglasses and hats in court.
• Do not chew gum.
• Arrive 10-15 minutes before your scheduled court time and try and leave young children at home.
• Use the restroom before going into the courtroom, and turn off your cell phone.
• Sit and stand straight.
• Speak clearly and loud enough for the room to hear and only when you are spoken to, and only what you are asked of.
• Do not grow angry and argumentative.
• Refer to the judge as Your Honor.

How you present and conduct yourself in court will speak to the judge and the jury in addition to the case, facts, and evidence itself. For example, if you get angry, verbal, and disruptive in court, the judge may pause the trial for the day and when you come back, they will be stricter with you. In essence, they are watching you for your behavior.

Listen to and trust your lawyer. If you are out on bail, do not forget to stay on track with bail bond payments. Compton Bail Bond Store will help make sure of this as well.

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 provide 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 skip bail and court.

The rules for your bail bond are simple. Your Winnetka Bail Bond Store 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.

When it comes to getting arrested, posting bail, dealing with trial, and all that not-so-good-stuff, the length of time it takes can vary depending on the defendant and the situation.

However, the general steps are the same:

1. Arrest
2. Booking
3. Arraignment
4. Post bail
5. Prepare for trial
6. Trial

Booking occurs immediately after the arrest. The arraignment follows shortly thereafter. If a defendant is eligible to post bail, then the immediacy of jail release is dependent on how quickly the defendant and his or her loved ones can gather up the money for bail.

Bail can be in the tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars. Getting this sum of money for cash bail can take some time. If the defendant and loved ones go the bail bond route, then they need to only gather money that sums up to 10% of the full bail amount, and they can pay this off over a payment plan.

• A Union Member
• A Member of the Military

The best thing you can do for a loved one when they are in trouble is to help them, not abandon them. Even if you do not know exactly how you are going to help, offer your support and you will be able to figure it out one step at a time. We can tell you the first step is to help bail them out of jail. You may not agree with their actions, but jail time is not the best fit for them. They would not learn anything from you if they are in jail.

In jail, little is offered to inmates. There are very few corrective programs, classes, or counseling opportunities in jail, if any at all. Focused, individual, and/ or passionate guidance is almost nonexistent because well, it is jail. No one really wants to spend their time trying to educate inmates who are unlikely to make a big change for themselves. Advice and help is much more effective from a loving family member or friend at home. This should not be looked at as a time for punishment but instead, time spent together to develop values, relationships, and personal growth. This is personal care, and this is how you can start helping your loved one in need.
