Getting the call that your mom has been arrested is one of those moments that flips your world upside down. If you’re a young adult trying to figure out what to do next, take a deep breath—we’re here to walk you through it.
Whether this is the first time something like this has happened in your family or not, you don’t have to go through it alone. At eBail, we help people like you 24 hours a day.
Can I Bail Out My Mom?
Yes, you can. As long as you’re 18 or older, you can legally cosign for a bail bond—even if you’ve never done anything like this before.
When you bail someone out, you’re not just helping them get out of jail—you’re also taking on a legal and financial responsibility. That’s why we’ll ask you a few basic things to make sure you’re eligible.
What Do I Need to Bail Her Out?
To cosign for a bail bond, it’s ideal that you:
- Are employed
- Have a bill under your name (like rent, phone, or utilities)
- Can show some form of stability
- Or have another cosigner available if needed
Don’t worry—if you don’t meet all of these, we may still be able to help depending on your unique situation. We treat every case with care and look at the full picture.
What You’ll Need to Get Started
To begin the process, have this info ready:
- Your mom’s full legal name
- The jail she’s in (Clark County Detention Center is the most common)
- Her booking number (if you don’t know it, we can help you find it)
- A valid photo ID
- 15% of the bail amount (as required by Nevada law)
Example: If bail is set at $10,000, you’d only pay $1,500 through a licensed bail bondsman like us.
If that amount is out of reach, ask us about our easy payment plans. We’ve helped thousands of families make bail possible.
What Happens After She’s Out?
Once your mom is released, she’ll need to:
- Show up to all her court dates
- Follow the conditions of her release
- Stay in touch with you and with us
As the cosigner, it’s your job to make sure she follows through. If she misses court or breaks any terms of the bond, you could be held responsible for the full amount of the bail, plus any additional fees or bounty hunter costs.

We understand how stressful this is—especially when it’s your mom. The pressure to “fix it” can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’re here, 24/7, to explain your options and help you make the best decision for your family.
