Best Answer

An arrest warrant can only be issued if the person it served on has violated some law. It can be supposed that you may asking if you can be arrested for failure to appear in a divorce and custody case. As such matters are of a civil not criminal nature, you cannot typically be arrested for failing to appear, regardless of the reason. If, however, you were ordered to appear by the judge, and you did not, you may be held in contempt of court, and it would be a very good idea to contact the judge's clerk and provide documentation to support your failure to show.

i don't think so - they would have to have reasons and an arrest warrant to arrest youAdded; Given the circumstances as stated on the discussion page, they could not legally take you into custody on that warrant given the amount of conflicting information. HOWEVER - if there was some other reason for them to take you into custody (i.e.: you obstructed them - or were in the commission of a separate and un-related offense) they could take you into custody based on THAT situation, separate from the warrant service.
