What happens if the person who owes child support (the obligor) doesn't show up for the hearing?

If the court is satisfied that there is proof that the obligor received notice of the hearing, a bench warrant may be issued for the obligor's arrest. A photograph or detailed physical description of the obligor will help the Sheriff's Department make the arrest. In addition, a default order granting your request for enforcement can be entered by the court.
