Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

Here's a $22,000 question for ya

In 1994, a child support order was issued (default judgement). In 2002, a warrant (body attatchment) was entered since he owes over $22,000. He does not reside in Illinois. But all of a sudden in April 2003 I recieve a letter from the court that his lawyer entered a MOTION TO QUASH, the lawyer explained to me that NCP's who owe this amount of money try to squirm their way out any way they can, but usually to no avail. I've gone to all the court dates, he never showed, his lawyer has withdrawn from the case. And my lawyer said she will motion to strike the next court date. My question is.........can this all happen again?
