    Default Jurisdiction Over Father with No Ties to State of Child's Residence

    When a summons states that failure to respond may result in a warrant being issued for your arrest, is that plausible?

    Is it just a threat or can they cross state lines and extradite you to a state you have no ties to?

    Thanks.

    I take it this is for a child support order, etc. Extradition on a warrant, and this would be a bench warrant, probably, it is soley up to the entity issuing it. Depending on how far they wish to seek you, it can be a nationwide warrant, yes.

    No, not yet. But if it does arise, I was just wondering. Thanks for the response. Much appreciated.

    Also. If a summons is issued via mail and is not sent certified to verify I received it... (I'm out of town at the time) can the court take action on my behalf if I am the respondent?

    When a summons is received, service is complete. I do not know if the local rules of court/state law mandate a return reply as in certified mail.

    If it is completed, it is in your best legal interest to acknowledge it, as soon as possible.

    This is a paternity action? If you ignore a summons for paternity you can expect to lose your opportunity for DNA testing.

    No, it's a custody/visitation action. I'm the respondent now because the mother wanted to change the venue to a different state.
