It's also possible that the court may be compelled to issue a warrant for her arrest for the previous violations, though I suspect that violations are handled in a different court than the one you will be attending.
Not trying to hijack this thread, but if I read this right are you saying that a court can issue a warrant on its own behalf in the absence of a prosecutor? If this is true, is this the case for all types of crimes, or just restraining order violations since they can be considered contempt of court order issues?
