There is no such thing as a right to a speedy trial in a divorce case. You can just ask the court to set the case during a time the legislature is not in session.

Q: How likely is it that my partner will receive bond?

He was arrested on a simple battery warrant l, paid the bail for that—but today was transferred to another county to satisfy a battery warrant. I was the victim in both cases, I just want to know how likely. I am praying he gets bond for this county.

I would say it's probably pretty likely, assuming the other battery warrant is also for a misdemeanor. If you really wanted to stack the deck in his favor, you could reach out to the prosecutor's office and tell them that you are the victim in the case and that you want them to give him a bond.
