    Unhappy Domestic and International Travel With a Ohio Child Support Warrant

    The father of my child missed 2 dates to appear for a contempt of court charge related to a child support order in Ohio.
    A warrant for his arrest was issued the second time he failed to appear.
    He currently lives in the Far East for work, but maintains a residence in the jurisdiction which issued the warrant. I have learned that he plans to vacation in Hawaii for a week, and then return to our city for a few days before returning to the Far East.

    He is on the passport denial list already, for arrearages which amount to over 20,000.00. He is making payments on the arrearages, but at the rate he is going, it will take 5 years to pay them off. They will deny him a passport should he apply for a new one, but his current passport is good until 2010.

    As he now has a warrent; is it possible that he can be picked up when entering the country in Hawaii, even tho the warrant is in Ohio ?
    Can they extridite him ( it's contempt of court for failing to follow court ordered CS issues ) ?

    When he returns to Ohio, I plan to send a sheriff to pick him up ( sorry, it's the only way. this has gone on for over 2 years ). -- but wonder if it can happen in Hawaii, and what if anything can happen with his passport.

    Is a Child support contempt / failure to appear warrant a misdemeanor?

    I don't know much about this, or what will happen next, so please, if anyone knows anything, please advise. I hate that this is happening, but need to do what I can to put an end to his lack of cooperation.

    Many thanks --

    Is it possible? Yes, if Ohio has requested interstate pickup on the warrant - and I very much doubt that they have. Is it probable, even if they have? No.
