Someone breached a written contract with me. That person owes me over $10,000, and they are consistently avoiding me.

You can not buy a warrant. You can also ususally not obtain one for civil breach of contract but consult your local court. This is considered in most cases and states civil litigation inwhich you will have to pay a fee for filing and go before the judge. Once he or the clerk says there is merit, they will summons the alledged person for a hearing to show cause or answer the charge. If the judge feels that the case still has merit, then a trial will be held. Sometimes they combine these steps and sometimes there are more steps.. Talk to your local district court and speak with a clerk to see what you need to file.
Good luck

If you believe his actions constitute fraud, you need to report it to law enforcement. If they believe a fraud occurred and the person is an imminent threat to the community, they will request a warrant for the arrest of that person. The warrant isn't something you can get... only sworn officers can do that.
Unfortunately, breach of contract without fraud is a civil matter and even if he's found guilty of the breach, he won't be subject to jail time in a civil matter.
I suggest you speak with your attorney to get an opinion from someone who is familiar with the laws in your area.

There is no " cost " to take out an arrest warrant, except for any fees you might pay an attorney. You can approach the police , and/or district attorney of your jurisdiction and explain the situation to them. If they deem it appropriate they will issue an arrest warrant. They do not charge you a fee for this. I feel that they will not issue an arrest warrant in your case unless there is blatant fraud involved. You might want to consult an Attorney to know where your options are ( of course you would be charged for this ).

In the US you can't buy a warrant. Don't bother calling the police for a breach of contract, you will be laughed at by the call taker.
Its soley a civil matter.

ok.. arrest warrants are for criminal matters only.
If you have a signed, legal contract, then take the person to court, and sue the civilly. If they choose not to answer to the charge then you can ask the judge to issue a bench warrant.

Check with your county clerk of court to see what small claims court limits and filing fees are. You probably can't get them arrested, but you can probably win a judgement against them in court if you have proper documentation.
Your county clerk's office is the best place to start for free advice and sometimes they will assist you with the filing of the necessary paperwork to get the lawsuit started.

This is not a Police situation. You will have to take civil action against this individual. Check with small claims court, and they will advise you as to the procedure. You may also want to consult with an attorney.

Talk to your local DA. Provide evidence that a real crime has been committed or try civil court.
