What should I do if I cannot appear at my hearing?

If you are not able to appear in court, contact the court clerk at least 48 hours prior to your scheduled hearing. If you do not appear at your hearing and fail to notify the court, a warrant may be issued for your arrest in criminal cases. You should also keep in mind that a judge may make a ruling in your case if you fail to come to court after being properly notified in civil cases such as divorce, child support, and temporary protective order hearings.
