Re: bench warrent
If this was a procedure instituted by the Office of Child Support Enforcement, contact them and arrange to appear to have the bench warrant quashed. Then the hearing on the support issues will be rescheduled. Otherwise you could be picked up at any time and temporarily incarcerated.
