Has the person already been served with the summons and complaint?If so, here is what you could do.   He/she is subject to the jurisdiction of the court whether he moves or not after the service. Then if he does not show up for court, you should get a default judgment if you specify an amount of damages. Once that judgment is final and the appeal time period has run, you can take it to the state the person lives (if he moves out of state) and file it with a court of proper jurisdiction in that state to attempt to collect it.

Normally they are arrested and will see a judge, it is called an initial appearance.  The judge advise the defendant (accused person) of the charge.\n\nDepending on prior history, a defendant might be release to return to court later.  If the defendant has a history of not showing up to court (fail to appear), then the judge will likely have a bond amount set.  Your family/friend will have to post the bond for you to leave jail or you stay in jail until the case is completed.\n\nThe next event is the arraignment.  The defendant is required to enter a plea (guilty, not guilty/responsible, no contest).  If you are entering a not guilty plea, then it is set for a pre-trial conference.\n\nDuring the pre-trial conference, the prosecutor will offer a plea deal.  If rejected, then you will be set for trial.\n\nDuring the trial, if you are found guilty, you will get sentence at that time or a later date.

Depends. Was this the 1st appearance? If so, then the cop had no idea you planned on contesting the ticket, and it is perfectly legal to allow the courts to give notice to the cop in order to get him to appear... But, if he doesnt appear at the trial date (May 17), then you get dismissed. \n\nIve gotten 26 tickets in my life, and only three have ever appeared on my record. If you know the laws and know what questions tto ask WHILE BEING TICKETED, you can beat almost anything they give you. If you'd like, youre welcome to email me and explain the situation completely, and Ill see if there is anything I can tell you that will assist in your defense. I love making cops look stupid in court!

It means the court has granted a creditor the right to pursue the collection of a debt against you.  As all creditors are required to stop collection activities with your filing, they must request permission from the court to restart these activities.  The actual permission is called a "relief from stay".\n\nUsually these are provided to landlords or mortgage companies to continue the eviction or foreclosure process through the regular courts.\n\nYou'll want to talk to your lawyer about this as fast as possible.

It's called Failure to Appear and the result is quite simply that a bench warrant is issued for you.  If it's a big city, chances are they won't come looking for you at your house, but if you get pulled over for any reason and they run your license, you'll be arrested on the spot and then things get much worse.  I missed my court date for littering in college (just forgot all about it) and they came to my dorm and arrested me.  They let me go once we got the jail and it was a smaller city, but they did come to me, so it's really hard to say.\n\nIf you missed your date, call them - get it taken care of.

You usually get a warrant for failure to appear. If you have a good reason for not showing up(like you were in the hospital or your child was in the hospital) they will sometimes revoke the warrant and give you another court date. If you just forget.....then you probably have a warrant for your arrest.

If you get a summons then you need to go to court.  By not going you automatically lose the case.  If I were you I would contact a lawyer about it.
