If you have been paying, what is this hearing for?

It doesn't make sense that a hearing would be held because payments are being made, and there has to be some reason why they are threatening that a warrant will be issued if you don't show up. In other words, you either haven't explained the situation very well, or you don't know what the hearing is for.

The first thing you need to do is to find out exactly what this hearing is for. If it is NOT a hearing regarding non payment, you can request to appear telephonically. However, if this hearing is because you owe arrears, you'll need to find a way to appear in person.
