Q: What happens if I don't go to zoom court over a restraining order
A: No way of telling without knowing the hearing purpose and whether you are the petitioner or respondent. PPO proceedings are quasi-criminal, but with the exception of violations and some collateral consequences, the general civil procedures apply. If you are a respondent and you don't appear, you generally lose the right to challenge anything. If you are the petitioner, the court may dismiss the matter. If your hearing is a show cause, and you are the respondent, the court may issue a bench warrant for your arrest.
A: It might also help to understand that zoom court, is court.
