A: If your misdemeanor case has not been resolved give the info to your attorney. If it’s over and you plead guilty you’re probably out of luck. Consult with a criminal appeal lawyer for possible remedies.

A: The warrant needs to be recalled first. Unfortunately, you are not going to be able to walk into court, say "my ex lied", and have everything dismissed.

Get with your attorney ASAP. Good luck.
