    Helo mrs:

    Sure. But, if you hire a lawyer, you can probably turn yourself in, get booked and get out. If they catch you or your turn yourself in WITHOUT a lawyer, you'll stay in jail at least overnight.

    But, if you have money for a bond, why didn't you pay the tickets off?

    Hello again, mrs:

    I don't think the custody matter has anything to do with your warrants. So, no. Showing up in court ISN'T turning yourself in.

    Turning yourself in would be you going to the police station and telling them you give up.

    No, going to court on a custody matter is most likely where they will arrest you, ( either before or after the court) and gues what, if they get you before, you are not there to defend yourself.

    The bond is normally going to be
    The cost of the original fine, the fine for the not appearing plus court costs plus cost of warrant.

    At least here on traffic issues
