My girlfriend had an ex break a restraining order and was sentenced to 6mos in jail , he was ordered to turn himself in . Does anyone know how much time is given before surrendering himself ?

It's up to the court that sentenced him.  The judge should have given him a deadline date to report in by.

Not for sure about Florida, but I believe it takes five years for a misdemeanor to be able to be expunged. If the battery was domestic violence, then I don't know.

1 hour to get a warrant but the police is not going to go straight and get him most likely they will wait untill he is pull over for a simple traffic ticket. Unless you know someone or the parole officer as a bone to pick with him. Good Luck.

Go to findlaw.com and research your states law for sexual assault. Chances are since he broke probation, he will have that time to actively serve too. It doesn't look good. Especially if they 'box-car' his sentences, meaning serving one before he can start another.

It depends on the offense.  If the defendant only violated the protective order, then the days sound like it is in the range for sentencing.  If the defendant committed another offense and he/she would be subject to the penalties of the new offense.  The sentence is based on the underlying charge.\n\nThe conviction will limit the defendant in many ways including losing the right to own firearms and other weapons.

Yes and no. If he continues to waive time or he and his lawyer ask for more time to resolve pre-trial issues, it will take as long as it takes. There have been people who have been in county jail for as long as 7 years. That person was found guilty of a felony and senteced to time served. (Back story was he had a contract out on his life and knew that he would be killed in prison. So, he delayed and delayed until he had been there 7 years. Smart criminal.)\n\n\nCharles Ng, a serial murderer in CA, used his knowledge of the law to delay his murder trail 13 years!!! Pretty gruesome, but read about him and his trail here:\n\nhttp://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_killers/predators/ng/call_1.html

well yeah you can go through his chain of command. or on base it would be the mp.'s but they will just take him for the 72 hour cool down period in the barracks and he'll probably be mad when he comes home. or off base call local police.  then theres restraining orders.  but if he has a fukked up chain of command he'll get away with everything he does  like my ex husband.his whole chain of command lied for him and stuck up for him in court for the domestic violence incidents and hell now hes getting away with murder.

Read the restraining order.  What does it say?\n\nLiekly not, since it has to be within  a physical number of feet (I think)\n\nBut, read the restraining order.  The police have it, he ccan get a copy of it if he doesn't already.

Huh....you sure you're in love?  It's going to be tough being alone while he serves time...and he seems aware of that fact.  That's a big sacrifice--waiting for him I mean.  If you chose that route--best of luck to you.  But even if you don't decide to wait it out--you could still be supportive by communicating with him while he's incarcerated.  Life with a convicted felon is not going to be easy after he serves time either--and your options will be limited because of it.  Just be aware of the sacrifices required to remain with this person.  It sounds like you'll have lots of time to make up your mind.  Find a support group that can assist you.  Good Luck

Why would you want to do that? You are just asking for more trouble by getting back together with this guy. The restraining order is in place for you to enforce, you can do whatever you want to do, I do not believe they drop court orders, they are amended.

I was convicted for possesing drugs, I was sent to prison for 14 months, while I was in there, there was a guy who  assaulted his girlfriend, then drove around drunk with his 8 month old baby in the car. He was only sentenced to 6 months. It was so sad cause I got there 2 months before he did, and he was set free before I got out. Keep in mind that this was my first offense of any kind, (except traffic tickets). This is just one case, I could tell you a whole bunch of other cases that were Obviously worse than mine, and they got less time than I did....there is no such thing as justice in America!

Actually, I am... My husband has been an inmate twice since we've met and has just recently been released about a week and a half ago. We have been going through a messy divorce since the 23 of June, last year(our six month wedding anniversary).\n\nThere also was a man that I had known and spent half my life in love with and he was released last summer and is now in Colorado doing great; he didn't waste anytime getting back on his feet.\n\nThey both, by far, are repeat offenders not once, not twice, not even thrice. They both have spent the majority of there lives going in and out of jail and extremely close to prison. The difference between them is that my husband wants to do right and has the faith and ability to do so as well as a lot of potential for success in many areas of his life, but he lacks the understanding of HOW to live differently and the common sense of wise decision making. He isn't doing any of the bad things that he did to get him locked up to begin with, but he is still putting himself in situations that could eventually land him back where he began, claiming that his walk with god is so strong that he can handle the situation, when his family and I all know that his strength will eventually weaken due to where he is choosing to stay. BUT the other guy I spoke of had a safe place to stay and a secure job with in weeks and went as far as a move from California to Colorado to get away from his previous influences and is doing great right now; he even got custody of his 6 year old daughter back.\n\nThese two people are very similar and very different which goes to show that you shou7ldn't judge people by their mistakes; it is our mistakes that make us human. BUT we can be judged by the efforts we take to make things right once given the knowledge, ability, and the freedom to do so.\n\nThe best advice I could give is to go online tro the court website of the county he is convicted in, type his name into the search, and it will pull up his entire criminal history and all other related cases he may have; it's all public record. Also, try and find out what kind of home life he had growing up, because that will play a big role in his decision making process and will give you a better idea of his non-jail personality. I say non-jail personality, because once you're locked up you tend to form what's called a prison mentality which means that you learn to anipulate people into beleiving that what you say is genuine and that they really have rehabilitated and deserve another chance, yet once released they go right back to there old ways. So find out as much as you can about who he used to be and carefully compare him to the person you know him to be now. Ask him what plans he has for when he is released. Most inmates that are serious about the desire to rehabilitate will have already constructed a plan as to where they will stay, how they will get around, where they will work, just general goals and ways of meeting those goals.\n\nFind out when he is supposed to be released and continue writing to him or calling him which ever you prefer and see how he unfolds as a person once released rather than getting involved right away.\n\nIt's not easy, but sometimes you have to see where your heart leads you, just make sure your smarts have brought along a safety net just incase.

After so much time served, an inmate may have a bond reconsideration hearing.  They'll usually do it after a month or two, depending on the offense, I think.  Get your phone book and look up government offices.  If you don't live in the Chattanooga area, try http://www.switchboard.com \nYou may be able to call county courts or sheriff's office & get a number and/or extension for jail information if they're not connected (they are here).\nYou could always write your inmate and instruct him/her to write you back with visiting times.  If you live in the area, it should take no more than 4 days to get in, get processed, and get out & back to you.   If your inmate has the sense, s/he has probably already written you, or will soon.\nBest bet, get county offices information today, and call first thing in the morning for info.

I don't know...my friend had her bf in a couple of times and he kept going back to her and she kept taking him back, for the domestic violence he got 2 years.

why would you want to reverse a restraining order? Wasn't the person "restrained" for a reason? anyways..I am sure there is a way around it..

Hon, you would be f*rting in the wind to think you can get a probation officer to drop warrants for revocation of parole in any state.  \n\nHe will serve time in Texas.  He will be released but never even leave the jail premises because the other state's warrants will be served him on the spot.  The State of Texas & the other state would already have made arrangements for an officer(s) to escort him to the other state where he will serve time for probation revocation.\n\nYou should seriously reconsider your relationship with this guy.  Could he be using you to try to get him out of the mess he has made?  It's easy for people in prison to whisper sweet nothings to a girl if they think it would be to their advantage.  Please don't jeopardize your future.
