Q: I got charge for domestic violence misdemeanor ,I moved states before my court date wha's gonna happen?
I moved cuz I couldn't afford to live there , my gf is the one that called the cops on me cuz I pushed her but where still together she called cuz she was mad & now regrets it .. is there any way they could move court to the state I live in know or do I have to go back ?
A: When you fail to appear a warrant for your arrest will be issued. They cannot move the criminal case to where you live not. You have to go back.. The best thing to do is hire a private criminal defense attorney there.
A: You should contact an attorney in the state where the charge is pending and see if they can find out if there is in fact a warrant for your arrest. If there is, your best bet is to come back and deal with it. If you get stopped for even a traffic infraction, you could end up in jail due to this warrant.
