You may reques that the Judge Quash or recall teh bench warrant. To do so, you will either have to apepar and post bond, or get the judge to release the warrant. Obviously, if you pay the outstanding balance it will help your cause. If you cannot pay the debt now, then you should fiel amotion to withdraw the Warrant, and schedule it for hearing. You may have to post bond to do this. If both you and your spouse live in a county other than Johnson, you may be able to get the matter transferred. But, you may have to resolve the warrant issue first. I suggest you hire counsel to represent or assist you in this delimna.

Good luck
