Q: Is a show cause order concidered a warrant It says order-show cause and there's a court date for December 2
Just tryi.g I o figure out if I an going to be picked up on a warrant
A: No. It’s a hearing to appear at and for you to testify or present other evidence to oppose whatever relief is being sought against you at the hearing. There are so many different possible forms of relief where a show cause hearing is held, from relatively minor matters to serious, some which involve relief that does not cost you anything at all, to penalties that can result in jail (e.g., contempt of court for violation of a court order), that without reading the show cause order it is impossible to know what or how serious the matter is that you are facing. Take the order to a lawyer to review and advise you.
