His dad has school then in another state but didnt bother to tell the judge that.If he dosent bring him home the judge will sign an warrant for his arrest and he knows this...it will then be left up to his commanding officer to find him and make him bring him back to michigan...does anyone know if this is the way it will go??? we have lots of questions
 
If the judge issues a warrant for his arrest - make sure that the military police on that installation are informed. The soldier will be picked up by the MPs and then turned over to the civilian law enforcement.

In addition you should sent a copy of the court order to the soldier's commanding officer. The commander will then have the soldier 'supervised' in order to ensure that he complies with the court order.

BTW - as the saying goes - 'there are two sides to every story' and the Army will sit down and listen to the soldier's side of the dispute as well. So if there is anything you are not telling us - this information will be incorrect.
 
The Judge is not going to be sitting at the house on the first waiting to see if the child arrives. If he does not comply with the court order, the court will not automatically know. If someone notifies the court, by filing a motion seeking to hold him in contempt, then the court MIGHT issue a warrant but might also just issue an order for him to appear at some specific time to explain his failure to comply.
Execution of a warrant on a military base is done by the military. Ordinarily, the MP will have the suspect come to the office and will then surrender him to the civilian cops. If he is in another state, other than where the warrant issued, getting extradition is an expensive undertaking and so the local cops may not want to execute the warrant. Then there are time when the military learns of the warrant and simply orders the person to go to the court that issued the warrant. There are many variations and no universal answer.
