Failure to appear in Civil court?  Or Failure to be civil in criminal court?\n\nIn civil court if you fail to appear you face getting a summary judgement against you.  Basically not showing up will allow the other party to get whatever they're seeking whether that be the amount they're suing for or a dismissal if they're the defense.\n\nIn ohio: "§ 2935.11. Failure of person summoned to appear.\n\nIf the person summoned to appear as provided in division (B) of section 2935.10 of the Revised Code fails to appear without just cause and personal service of the summons was had upon him, he may be found guilty of contempt of court, and may be fined not to exceed twenty dollars for such contempt. Upon failure to appear the court or magistrate may forthwith issue a warrant for his arrest."\n\nSee also § 2935.27. Procedure after issuance of citation; penalties for failure to appear or comply.

Depending on the laws of your state, you could be in contempt of court; subject to fines and possible jail time. If jury duty presents a hardship to you, you should contact the clerk of courts and explain why you can't attend. It used to be in my state (Ohio) that if you were a member of the clergy, officer of the court (attorney) or physician, you were excused automatically. They changed that; I don't know what your state laws/local rules provide, but simply ignoring the summons is not a good idea.

You may contact the court and ask for the court to set a debtor hearing to find out what his assets are.  If he failed to appear the judge could issue civil contempt charges against the defendant.\n\nNormally, judgments will affect his credit and hopefully that will make him eventually pay you.

1.  They will have the orginal charge they skipped from.\n\n2.  the skipping is actually a merely failure to appear and is the more minor issue.\n\n3.  If they had 8 year of probation to finish, most likely they would serve those 8 years in jail for it. plus another year or two for failure to appear.\n\n4.  If the person has really done well in life, education, good job and the such, a good attorney may work out a plea for a few years, unless there are new crimes or crimes not sentenced in Fl

No because it is too late.  You allowed the person to be found guilty already and is awaiting sentencing.  You can make a statement to the judge before sentence is passed down by the judge.

Civil contempt: conditional jail sentence, fine not more than $250.00, costs and expenses of the proceedings, damages to injured party (including attorneys fees). He may not get all or any. Depends on the judge. \n\nCriminal contempt: fixed jail sentence up to 30 days, fine of not more than $250.00, costs and expenses of the proceedings, damages to injured party (including attorneys fees). Again, depends on judge. \n\nDon't get me started. I used to work with victims of domestic violence in New York State. It was exceedingly rare for a man to get a fine or any jail time for violating an order of protection. I hope you have better luck than that. Make sure you make a police report and/or file a violation in Family Court (wherever you got your order). I know it's frustrating, but the only hope you have is to keep sending him the message that you will no longer tolerate his behavior! Keep up the good work! And if you want to talk you can contact me. God Bless!

depends on the state...here in IL it is not a crime but rather a civil affair unless a judgement has been rendered and the party in question is in contempt.

Not knowing what your local laws are.... I would contact your local law enforcement agency and see what they are willing to do to help you.  They might tell you it's a civil problem and give you a direction to follow.

Depends on the type of assault and the judge.  Was it a felony?  You could face jail time, restitution and probation.  If it was a misdemeanor, you could still be sentenced to all of the above but on a lesser basis.  It really depends on the situation.

I found this information by going to the website below:\n\n"If you wish to request a change in the trial date, you must write the court before your trial date with an explanation of the circumstances that require the change. Your request is not automatically granted; it is up to a judge to determine whether to change your trial date.\n\n"If you do not pay your citation, it is extremely important that you appear in court on your trial.\n\n"If you fail to appear for trial, the MVA will be notified and will take action to suspend your license. Driving on a suspended license is a criminal offense for which you can receive jail time."\n\n\nThere are two kinds of traffic offenses, "payable" and "must appear". If you committed the first kind of offense, you can always choose to pay the fine, but you'll lose the opportunity to get your day in court or to apply for a PBJ (Probation Before Judgment) under which you pay the fine but avoid getting points for a first-time violation.\n\nIf you committed a "must appear" offense, that's pretty self-explanatory. You can request a new court date, the sooner the better, and hope that your request is granted. \n\nHope that helps.

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.

typically a fine and/or community service.  possible jail-time depending on criminal history and the extent of the damage, but most likely not to exceed one year.  these laws are usually set by state government under property damage laws.  Also, owner of vandalized property may sue for damages in civil court.

Initially the Australian Electoral Commission will write to all apparent non-voters requesting that they either provide a reason for their failure to vote or pay a $20 penalty.\n\nIf, within 21 days, the apparent non-voter fails to reply, cannot provide a valid and sufficient reason or declines to pay the penalty, then prosecution proceedings may be instigated. If the matter is dealt with in court and the person is found guilty, he or she may be fined up to $50 plus court costs.

This depends on state law, and the judge handeling the case.  Depending on these factors, you may be given extra time, a higher fine, or even jail time.

It depends on the offense.  If the defendant only violated the protective order, then the days sound like it is in the range for sentencing.  If the defendant committed another offense and he/she would be subject to the penalties of the new offense.  The sentence is based on the underlying charge.\n\nThe conviction will limit the defendant in many ways including losing the right to own firearms and other weapons.

In Georgia, they issue a warrant for your arrest.  After being arrested, you have to explain to a judge why you did not respond to your jury summons.  You can be fined and/or jailed for failure to do jury duty.

Your friend will probably get a fine for this violation.  He will go through a few court dates.  The arraignment, he is advised of his charges.  The initial appearance, he enters a plea (guilty, not guilty, no contest).  If no contest or guilty, he basically has plead guilty and explains to the judge.  If not guilty, he will then be set for a pre-trial conference.  The prosecutor offers a plea deal.  If not accepted, you go to trial.  The court determines the sentence.  Most likely fine.
