Best Answer

A schedule of bonds for various offenses is established by your state court system. Depending upon the seriousness of the crime and the your individual circumstances the judge may set this bond somewhere within that range, or he may not offer you bond at all, at his discretion.

Why can't my fiance come home if he's on a personal bond,and what he is accused of isn't involving our household?

It's not like a restraining order, so the reason is irrelevant. "For an individual to be out on bond, it means that they have a case pending but they are not incarcerated while awaiting trial. When a person is arrested a magistrate judge normally sets the amount of bond required for the person’s release. Once that person posts the bond, or has the bond posted on their behalf by a bail bond company, then the person is released."

No, if the judge determines that the accused is a flight risk, no bail may be set. Also, it is possible that if the accused is determined to be no threat and very cooperative, a Personal Recognizance bond may be set; that is he may be released by his own assurance he will return to court at the appointed time and date.
