Wisconsin Notice of Bail/Bond Forfeiture and Forfeiture Hearing is a legal process in which a person's bail or bond is revoked due to a failure to appear in court. When a person is charged with a criminal offense and posts bail or bond, they are required to make all of their court appearances. If the person fails to appear, the court may issue a Wisconsin Notice of Bail/Bond Forfeiture and Forfeiture Hearing. This hearing will determine if the bail or bond should be revoked, and if so, the court will order the forfeiture of the bail or bond. The different types of Wisconsin Notice of Bail/Bond Forfeiture and Forfeiture Hearing are: 1. Preliminary Forfeiture Hearing: This type of hearing is held within 30 days of the issuance of the Wisconsin Notice of Bail/Bond Forfeiture. At this hearing, the court will decide whether the bail/bond should be revoked. 2. Final Forfeiture Hearing: After the Preliminary Forfeiture Hearing, if the court orders the forfeiture, a Final Forfeiture Hearing is held after 90 days. At this hearing, the court will determine the amount of the forfeiture and whether the defendant should be responsible for any additional costs associated with the forfeiture. 3. Postponed Forfeiture Hearing: This type of hearing is held when the court decides to postpone the Final Forfeiture Hearing for a period of time. This is done to give the defendant more time to prepare for the hearing. 4. Appeal of Forfeiture Hearing: If the defendant is dissatisfied with the outcome of the Final Forfeiture Hearing, they may file an appeal of the decision. The appeal must be filed within 14 days of the final order.
