A: To have a capias order recalled in circuit court, you need to take specific steps. First, you or your attorney must file a motion to recall the capias with the court that issued the order. This motion should clearly explain why the capias was issued and provide any justifications or evidence that support your request for its recall.

Second, it's important to address the underlying issue that led to the issuance of the capias. This might involve appearing in court to resolve missed appearances or complying with any other court orders that were not initially followed. Demonstrating your willingness to comply with court requirements can significantly influence the court's decision.

Lastly, ensure you attend any scheduled hearings regarding the motion to recall the capias. The judge will review your motion, any supporting documents, and hear arguments from both sides before making a decision. Showing up on time and prepared can help convey your commitment to resolving the matter responsibly.
