In California, a bench warrantis a court order from a judge asking for your immediate arrest for failure to follow court-ordered rules. It may be issued for a variety of reasons, some of which may include the failure to perform any of the following as ordered by the court:
- Failure to pay a fine
- Failure to pay restitution
- Failure to pay child support
- Failure to allow visitation
- Failure to appear for a court ordered hearing
- Failure to appear for a subpoena
