When you fail to appear a warrant for your arrest will be issued. They cannot move the criminal case to where you live not. You have to go back.. The best thing to do is hire a private criminal defense attorney there.

Q: If my 17 year old daughter leaves the state with her 18 year old boyfriend can he be charged with kidnapping?
1 Answer | Asked in Criminal Law for Washington on Aug 1, 2015
Answered on Aug 20, 2015
Robert Jason De Groot's answer
My guess, because I do not practice law in your state, is that he can probably be charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, at most. When you have legal questions like this the best thing that you can do is go speak with an attorney about the matter. When you ask a question online, there cannot be a full discussion, and most people simply do not know the right questions to ask. A discussion with an attorney is the best way to get legal advice. The attorney can ask questions and...

Q: If I buy a car before I file for divorce can my wife try to take it in the divorce?
1 Answer | Asked in Family Law for Washington on Aug 16, 2015
Answered on Aug 19, 2015
Vincent J. Bernabei's answer
If you purchase the car in your own name after separation, that car will likely be considered your separate property and you will retain it. It is possible but not likely that your wife could be awarded the car. For example, if your wife's mother takes her car back and your wife has to transport children but has no car, then the court could award the car to your wife. Again, this is unlikely but possible.
