Q: My husband is wanted for forgery and check fraud in another state. Will he get extradited? He has a bail
A: Whether or not a person is extradited for offenses like forgery and check fraud depends on several factors, including the seriousness of the charges, the jurisdiction's willingness to pay for the extradition, and the specific details of the warrant and bail conditions. If your husband has a set bail, it suggests there is an active warrant for his arrest. While minor offenses may not lead to extradition, forgery and check fraud can be considered more serious, increasing the likelihood of extradition. However, each case is unique, and the decision to extradite often depends on the discretion of both the requesting and the holding states. For personalized legal advice tailored to your unique circumstances, it's advisable to consult with an attorney.
