Felony Domestic Battery: Felony charges often result in higher bond amounts, ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 or more, depending on the specifics of the case. Aggravated Assault or Battery: Bond amounts for aggravated offenses can be significantly higher, potentially ranging from $10,000 to $50,000 or more.

The maximum stay depends on the court system. Typically you will be held until your trial, also called "pretrial detention." While you have the right to a "speedy" trial, the definition of this is up to the court and can vary. This means you might be kept in jail for anything from a few weeks to several years.
