A:
Thank you for your question.
If neither party appears for a hearing and so long as everyone has been properly served the Court is likely to dismiss the matter for failure of the Plaintiff to prosecute the case. It is unlikely that any warrants would issue because the Plaintiff is not pursuing the matter any further. Based on your circumstances, I would suggest contacting an experienced family law attorney to address your specific concerns.
I hope this information was helpful to you.
