    Bench Warrant for show cause
    Hello, I missed a show cause hearing last week monday due to being ill, I called to FOC and left message that I cant make it and asked for reschulde- I got papers (on thrusday03/23) saying a bench warrant was issued on that day, I callled back and asked for the FOC worker to call me back but no call yet. my stion is will the police come to the house for the warrant and how soon. my back is 1700 dollars due to be liad off, and not finding a job yet. I will call FOC again tomorrow, and get it worked out but in the mean time can I expect a knock on the door. please reply ASAP thanks

    The bench warrant is issued by the court, not the FOC. The FOC can't excuse your attendance at court. You should consider consulting a local lawyer for help getting the bench warrant resolved.

    Not to use a cliche, but McDonalds is always hiring. If you want a job you can find one, and it would be a good thing if when you go back to court after blowing off a prior court date, you evidence that you will be paying toward your arrearage and ongoing support obligation. If you really don't want to go that route, find a friend relative who can loan you the money.

    It's unlikley, but nobody but the police know for sure what they plan to do.
