Cosigner Responsibilities Under Connecticut Statute
Pay attention to this information before signing anything. Few individuals do it.
You act as a guarantor, meaning you're personally assuring the court that your nominee will appear before it:
• Once every time, at the respective courthouse in Fairfield County • Adhere to the judge's conditions of release • Stay in Connecticut unless the court orders otherwise • Call the bail agent if any changes in their contact details occur. Address, phone number, job etc.
Miss at least one time and the arrest warrant is issued, and you'll become responsible for repaying the bond with the entire amount being collected from you. Connecticut authorities give 150 days to catch the fugitive. After that, the sum equal to the value of the bond will be debited from your account, and this amount is several times higher than our fee.
