Judge authorized a " cash only warrant for no-show debtor. How do activate it?

Apparently there is a form or paperwork that need to be filed by the clerk refuses to tell me what form that is for some reason. I have asked around and no one know what form she is talking about.


Some background, I sued a debtor who did not show up to court twice in a row and judge authorized a cash-only warrant in UTAH. My understanding is that she has the option of paying it or going to jail.

This may be some kind of a local Utah law that does not exist in other states, I'm not sure.

Its authorized(but not issued) a cash only warrant. So Again, its only authorized but not activated unless I file some kind of paperwork but I can't find any information on what that paperwork is exactly.

Does anyone know what this is exactly?

Thanks

A google search for "checklist for bench warrant debtor utah" brought up some results you may find useful. (And in defense of the court clerk, by law they're not allowed to tell you much more than they did, otherwise it would be considered the unauthorized practice of law.)

Thanks, that actually helps a lot.

I have done other searches on google but not come up with that information that you found.

This is exactly what I was looking for.

I honestly don't know why the clerk would not link that "Checklist for a Bench Warrant or an Order to Show Cause" its look like the official step by step guide produced by the court itself or at least tell me the term to search on google. If some DMV employee tell you that you need to fill out a change of address form when you change your address, that is not acting as your lawyer.


Anyway, you have help me out a great deal.

Thanks a million.

You're right, but it's irrelevant. A DMV employee advising on the process to change your address with the DMV is not a legal matter. Heck, even the clerk of the court could give you that information if s/he knows it...

Now, if the DMV employee advised you on what forms to fill out and how to file them in order to change your address at the court for an ongoing court matter, THAT would be the unlawful practice of law.

Due to the " how to file them" part of it making it "unlawful practice"? What portion exactly makes it the unlawful practice of the law?

I wanted to get copies of the audio of the court hearing and I was advised by the same clerk on what form to fill out and even email the correct request forms. She did not have a problem with that.

I wish she would have told me it was considered unlawful practice of the law, because it came across as " I know exactly the right form but I'm not telling you out of spite"

Thanks.

That is information from your state's BAR that explains what the unlawful practice of law is.
