My question is this. My friend has a capias warrant out for his arrest in Ohio for nonpayment of child support and missing his last court date. I believe he is behind almost $10,000, which is what his bond is set at. He plans on turning himself in. What is the typical length of jail time for this? Will they keep him until the next hearing is scheduled? He lives 2 hours from the county his warrant was issued in so he called the sheriff's office in that county. They told him to turn himself in where he is residing, but that the warrant is not in the LEADS system (?) (we're not sure what that is) and that the police department here would have to call the Sheriff's department where the warrant was issued to verify the warrant so he can get picked up and taken there. Does this mean that the warrant does not extend out of the county it was issued in? Sorry...we're just a little confused!

All 'capias warrant' means is 'arrest warrant'.

"Law Enforcement Automated Data System (LEADS) means the statewide computerized network which provides computerized data and communications for criminal justice agencies within the state of Ohio. LEADS is administered by the Ohio state highway patrol superintendent.

In this case the "capias" warrant is for a failure to pay...or essentially a contempt of the judges order to pay child support.
Because child support is a civil and not criminal issue...warrants of this nature are kept within the state and not out of state. The delinquent father could be served if he leaves the state, however, this is often difficult as often times these type people can be ellusive.
A very close friend has an ex-husband who left the state and is over $40,000.00 behind in child support. This 43 year old man won't get a job because his mother and father let him stay with them. He has a severe drug problem and spends more time in jail or prison.
Main problem getting him served is the parents lie to the process servers about his whereabouts!
So...warrants are executed as quickly as possible....it's just a matter of finding the people sometimes!
Best wishes.

His parents aren't responsible for his child and the courts wouldn't go for that. He's responsible and to be honest he's not "getting away with it" Not only is back child support accumulating, it's also building interest. Child support will also revoke his driver's license if he doesn't pay. Are his parent's going to drive him to the store all the time too? If he tries to buy a car or make a purchase that requires credit check, it won't work because it will appear that he hasn't paid. If he tries to pull out any loan, he won't be able to. He can even go to jail for not paying his child support. His parents can be idiots and enable his irresponsibility all they want, but it will haunt him and it will get him one day or another. They won't be around forever. You may see a check coming your way after they die. Right now I'm actually getting child support from my ex's unemployment. You can't get away from it. He tried to get paid under the table and file for unemployment but he's still getting money taken. Are they going to support him forever? It's impossible. Don't worry, it'll come back to him. Even if your kids reach the age of 18, it doesn't ever go away. It will be taken out of his SSI, income tax returns, anywhere possible. His parents are doing him no favors. They are fools and now you know why he's a fool as well. Call child support services. Sometimes they need a little nudge to start coming after him in other ways. They can revoke his DL or put him in jail. Also if he ever tries to earn any type of accreditation or license for work, they will revoke that as well.

Tell him to go turn himself in,where you live now, tell them the coun ty inwhich the warrant was issued, He doesnt need to wait for someone to come and get him. He needs to do it the "easy" way. Voluntairly turn himself in.
