My (now) ex partner is currently on conditional bail and has been for almost 5 weeks. The investigating officer told me this is until October. Part of his bail conditions is not to contact me or my kids. He hasn't. My question is, what happens in October? Is that a likely timeframe for him to be charged or can bail be extended? Would I be notified if his bail conditions change? Sorry for all the questions.
Hi Partner
Sorry I can't help you. I don't undertand why, but my husband was not bailed after the knock came 6 months ago. He was just told to let the police know of any new phones he bought and also to notify them if he was going to be away from his address for more than 24 hours. From readng the posts on this forum it is clear that bail can be extended until the police have completed their investigations.
Fingers crossed your situation becomes clearer and is sorted out quickly.

Hi partner,
I’m a bit further on than you, but hopefully I can help.
My partner was arrested in March and bailed for 4 weeks. When the 4 weeks was up, his bail was extended (by a senior officer) to three months from the date of the arrest, which brought us to June. The extension was under the proviso that that should give them sufficient time to complete investigations. As it happened, that wasn’t the case and it just gave them chance to uncover other things which complicated matters. At the end of the three months, they either need to conclude (charge/don’t charge), release under investigation or apply to the magistrates to extend bail again. The magistrates will only extend once, so this is the final bail extension they can apply for. My partner’s bail was extended by the magistrates by an extra six months, which the officers said will be more than enough time (I’ve heard that before though), so we should have a decision by 13th December. Great Christmas present, hey?! Chin up - it’s damn hard work but you’ve made it 5 weeks, and those first few weeks are the worst part xx

I’m 24 weeks in... I still have horrendous wobbles but they’re nothing compared to those first six weeks or so. It’s gone quickly but I also feel like this has been going on forever. I just want life to be back as it was before, but I know that’s not possible now. Xx
Unfortunately there is no time frame at all. We got the knock the knock july last year. Was released on bail for 4weeks, end of that was extended till Oct then come Oct November time they got an extension of bail from court till April. But in january received a a call saying bail had expires so was no longer on bail or under any restrictions but was still investigation was ongoing. To this day we are still waiting for a decision xx
Almost 6 weeks. I'm so lonely. No one to talk about it with and the only one I spoke about everything with, is not allowed to contact me. What if he's innocent? I desperately want to hear his side. This is hard. Xx
Partner, it is a very lonely time. It will get better, I promise. There are lots of people here to talk to. Chin up my love x
Thank you Sally xx
